There are some strange names for droves and roads in West Norfolk. Sometimes they can be named but with two different names that mean the same thing, for instance Setchey and Setchy or Pious Drove and Pius Drove, you get the drift here, slightly eccentric, simply careless or just plain obvious?
Personally the Boss and I don't care it's just fun spotting them as you drive around the area but for starters here are few fine names, obvious names, some that can't decide on where word spaces should go and one or two that make you wonder just how they got the name. There'll be more to follow so watch this space.
Never mind it gets us out and about.
Might have to get spotting too....
ReplyDeleteSome are quite odd but they all have some strange history
DeleteThe Hampshire - Wiltshire area is excellent for strange place names. Endless hours of fun as you drive west 😆
DeleteWhen we lived on the Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey borders we got obsessed with some of the names down there. Good old bonkers England! John
