I'm a personal fan of Ham, which is located right next to Sandwich! Just don't confuse it with Finglesham, deal?

A street sign showing Ham and Sandwich!

I'm from the UK and thought these had to be fake til I saw Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Nope, all real.

Just so you know, that name is new and made up for purely tourist reasons.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

New as in 1800s, pretty sure some of these other places didn't exist then too.

This map is just the tip of the iceberg, some are much more detailed

This is the 16th century equivalent of choosing xXxSHitl3rxXx as character name for a game. Respect to the dedication though.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

I can't belive they didn't include Westward Ho!, the only place name in the UK which officially includes an exclamation mark.

Hey, at least we invented place names instead of just recycling English town names like the colonies. I lived in a village called Idle for years.

I bet Horrid Hill is actually a nicer place that tried to keep people away. Like a real life Scooby doo town.

There's always Westward Ho! which has to be spelled with an exclamation mark like that, as if they'd let boomer facebook name a town.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

There's a town called Barrow-in-Furness which officially has the dashes in it.
