Thread Name: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
Subject: RE: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
There was a story a few years ago that the council in Eastwood Nottinghamshire, the birth place of DH Lawrence, were going to rename some roads with reference to Lawrence's works.

Apparently this was very unpopular with the residents concerned. I can't really see why they should object to the likes of "Rainbow Cresent", "Chatterly Drive" or "Mellors Lane". I imagine the people living in "Cunt Close" would be a bit pissed off though!
