It's in Norfolk btw, just outside Attleborough (what three words ///both.bulb.haunt)

Apologies if this has featured before - couldn't see it on the first posting list though.
Believe it or not we went to view a property half way along this road when we were house hunting 10 years ago. Only didn't buy it 'cos it was right next to the train line.

Thanks to one of our members (thanks Russ) mentioning this to me a few days ago I thought I'd go & add it to the list.
It's got to be worth an honourable mention at least?  :)
Address is, Meerbrook, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 8SW

Another recommendation from Pete O Tube (thanks Russ, but I have no idea why you thought of me when you saw this  :shrug:  :grin:).
There is supposed to be a village of this name, but we came across so may 'road closed' around the area we struggled to find it, so the road sign is all I got.
Somewhere in the Yorkshire Moors.

One Day. It takes loads of work  :shy:

If only  :icon_no:

Martin, this is getting embarrassing for you. I was back in Malvern a couple of months ago and almost went for the hattrick of photos for Hornyold Road, but felt it would be in bad taste to subject you to that. Come on, sort yourself out and apply the credit where it due to the names on Page 1. I bet it takes less than 1 minute? It's fun contributing to this thread, but getting the credit is the icing on the cake.

Apparently there were several in England.
Would this one count?
