Always liked Bryant's Bottom, Butler's Cross, Marsh Gibbon, Whaplode Drove and Wetwang myself
Idle in Yorkshire.
Quite a few Bradford suburbs have mildly amusing names. There's the aforementioned (several times!) Idle, there's also Bowling, Fagley, Frizinghall (not rude, but a little bit odd)...
Wakefield has a few too, with Bottom Boat, Portobello (only included because locals seem to pronounce it like "Pot-belly"), and of course, Horbury.
My hometown of Huddersfield just has Longwood... and possibly Marsden Hard End.

I go through Six mile bottom every day and it is in Cambridgeshire not Suffolk there is also Three Holes and Rings End in Cambridgeshire.
I was on the S&C and the guide was telling the carriage about the Hawes branch. Exceptionally few people didn't snigger at that!Buttsy:2046007 said:There's always the ones that sound a bit rude such as Clitheroe (ask and Aussie to say it when they've never heard it said), Penistone, Scunthorpe (very well known one that), Cockermouth and Hawes...
I was going to Edinburgh years with a few lads from Dublin, when they spotted vandalised Sh*tbottle they proceeded to laugh for the next 2 hours...An odd one I saw was Shilbottle.
...If I remember correctly I recall reading about a police station in Sheffield on Letsby Avenue
Yeah, I found it on google maps after thinking my memory was playing tricks on meLetsby Avenue is on some maps on line, but there's not actually any sign on the ground, at least last year when I looked.
Likewise, there's no mention of it on their own website, either via their own search or by putting into Google letsby siteouthyorks.police.uk
However, there's a Guardian article explaining that it may have started as a joke, but got accepted by the council when the road was put in

It's not a police station as such (not open to the public), but it's also next to where they keep their helicopter.

Gotham in the midlands.
Just up the road from me. It's interesting to note that it is pronounced Go-Tam, but caused some amusement to the Batman fans that decended upon Nottingham when Wollaton Hall was used as Wayne Manor.
