Fanny Hands Lane and Honey Knob Hill are also on the list

Fanny Hands Lane, Honey Knob Hill and Crotch Crescent are just three places which have been hailed some of the most outrageous street names in the UK.

Yesterday residents living on a road called Bell End in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, claimed the name of the street has depressed house prices by as much as £60,000.

They also claimed children are bullied at school because fellow pupils found out they lived on Bell End and so have launched a petition urging the council to rename it.

But it isn’t just Bell End which has raised a few eyebrows with locals and passers-by.

It read: ‘As you may be aware, the term ‘Bell End’ can be seen and used as a rude and/or a offensive word.

‘As well as this, it can affect people and children including children being bullied and teased at school and generally now become a laughing stock as seen very recently on Facebook and other social media sites and it’s time for a change.’

The name regularly tops lists of rude place names, while some have been seen posing for pictures with the street sign.

One resident, who did not want to be named, said: ‘It was all very funny until I heard a few of the children on the street were being bullied at school.

‘It’s not their fault where they live. I think the road name should be changed to something less silly.

‘It does concern me that house prices are being undermined as well. I can understand the name might put some people off.’
