It was Lowton, Lancs :)

(Edit) I'm surprised Slaggyford on the Pennines isn't on the list. It always makes me titter when I'm passing :)

A small pedestrian stairwell by the river near me, not somewhere you can get to on the bike though but it fits with the dodgy place name theme.

I came across 'Ram Alley' in Wiltshire and thought that'd do but it's already taken :(

Heres a pic anyway

 

Then went to a greasy spoon & saw this!

Yep, Ram Alley was an easy one for me as it's just down the road and on the way to work.

Unfortunately for you, the cat one has been done too ..... and the comments were funny.
