# Posted: 9 Mar 2015 23:17:41 - Edited by: bobharvey Syphon Street, Porth Viewed from an entrance to Porth railway station looking towards the corner of Edward Street. The houses face the railway perimeter fence. According to one online source, this is the only Syphon Street in the UK. Google Earth agrees. The only other Syphon Street in the world, it seems, is in Shreveport, Louisiana in the USA. by Jaggery |

# Posted: 9 Mar 2015 23:25:58 - Edited by: bobharvey Droop Street, London W10 This is Droop Street. As featured on "Funny British Street Names" Link and no doubt other sites. At least it's in London, not Swindon or Salisbury. Droop Street, Wilts, would be too bad.... by Des Blenkinsopp Close up of the street corner featured in TQ2482 : Droop Street, W10 by Des Blenkinsopp |

Upton's distinctive pepperpot tower can be seen in the background. by Philip Halling Not sure Minge Lane appears anywhere else. It is often featured in a list of 'Rudest' road names. |

For context, see TQ3477 : Friary Road, SE15. by Stephen Craven The hall, on Bird-in-Bush Road, is a simple brick church hall attached to the Catholic church and Friary, but has quite an attractive pedimented front. The date stone on the front is AD 1937. by Stephen Craven |
