As you might know I have an unhealthy interest in street names and puns so I have decided to develop a standard list of punny street names that local councils could use when they are at a loss for a theme to use on a new development. Which appears to be most of the time, if Swindon is anything to go by.
It’s exactly what the doctor ordered if you are struggling to think of imaginative names for use on a former hospital site, for example; or for that difficult eco-friendly development where something a bit more unorthodox than Elmoak Limes or Fieldgrass Green is called for.
I’m sure someone must have come up with a similar idea before, but if they did then I’ve never seen it. So here you go, the Letters from America Name That Street quick-reference guide …
Alloverthe Place
Barking Mews
Beerinthef Ridge
Benny Hill
Equality Street
Firin Grange
Faraway Close
Gerroutamy Way
Gofora Drive
Letsbe Avenue
Mudon Road
Muhammed Alley
Phristmas Crescent
Roundor Square
Silence Inn Court
Youngmans Passage
Certainly can't be any worse than Bacteria Drive, Vaccination Court and Outpatient Mews or whatever medical-themed names they are using at Angel Ridge.
