Bellerophon Way, Haydock, St Helens.
The Tesco in Haydock was built on the site of the Haydock Foundry, builder of several Evans locos, including Bellerophon.

There's 'Southern Way' in Wadebridge North Cornwall on the site of the trackbed of the North Cornwall Southern Railway/Region Line and adjacent to Wadebridge Station Museum.

There's also a Bulleid Way in Bude, North Cornwall. Mind you, not sure if its original or rebuilt...! <g>

Most of the roads round Pride Park in Derby are named after the railway, for obvious reasons!

There's a 'Deltic House' in Zetland Street opposite Middlesborough station and there seems to be another in Preston. But the reference could be to the marine engine, not the locomotive.

It may be an urban myth, but I remember hearing that somebody suggested that it should be 'Beeching Cut'...

Yes, but this is not named after the station but the land on which it is built. Arnos Grove (the area) had been known as such for many years (>100) before the railway came as it was the name of the estate on which the houses have subsequently been built.

There's a newish housing development in Grantham called "Mallard Quarter"

I wonder if it refers to the duck, or the fact its built on the site of the old Grantham engine shed.
