Was wondering if that one would be in there. It's not a good old name
that has acquired connotations due to recent slang, but is the place
where people 500 years ago went to, well, use your imagination :-) Was
a very common street name throughout Britain at the time, but later
prudishness has got rid of all except this one as far as I'm aware (a
couple are disguised as "Grape(s) Lane I believe). Look at it now and
it's still a very narrow, winding alley with very old buildings on
either side- easy to see why it got its name.
I'm surprised "Lord Hereford's Knob" (a hill in South Wales near
Hay-on-Wye) isn't in there. I'm puzzled as to what is rude about "Trump
Street".
