SPLAY=FULL Excellent"Dearlove and Addymans" as folks used to call it.Mind you some of our lot used to eat some weird stuff from there with vinegar on it.Was it chitterlings?But oh, savoury duck and veal and ham pie (all pre-skinny latte + tuna melt)

This is an interesting one. I noticed it on the way back from Leeds United on Sunday afternoon. First time I've been in a good while.Wooler Place in Beeston. The street - or the street that the sign is on - is approximately thirty yards long with nothing at all on it.On Google Maps, they seem keen to convince the reader that Wooler Place takes a ninety degree turn left where there are some terraced houses. But the street it takes a ninety degree turn into is Back Cross Flatts Crescent, and is clearly posted as that at the junction with Wooler Road.Indeed, Back Cross Flatts Crescent continues on to a junction with Wooler Street past its junction with Wooler Road.Wooler Place does not exist on Postcode Finder. But I know it's there. The street sign says so. But did it ever exist as a street with houses at all?If anyone is remotely interested, could they get the appropriate GSV captures. I lack the basic skills required.

Hi S&P. If it works the attached image is a screen grab that I've captured showing Wooler Place in Google Street View (GSV). It may be a bit large but I found that reducing the size then reduced the definition even more. It was also the best I could get, though I'm sure others will be able to do better. Talking of GSV screen grabs I'm sure that I used to be able to copy and then paste a URL for the image but if that is still possible I cannot fathom out how to do it now.

Cheers Leodian. That's the one.There is absolutely no point to that Wooler Place street sign being there. None at all.Surely there must have been at some time.

Thanks S&P. Yes, still having the street name does seem pointless now. Interesting though.

Putting this one forward for entry. I can't find it on Postcode Finder anyway.
