hillsbro Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've been to some places with odd-soundling names in my travels; among my favourites are Great Snoring in Norfolk, Freezywater near London and Blubberhouses in Yorkshire. Here is a scan from a book about postmarks with some amusing placenames.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerrangaroo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Can't think of any myself but it's interesting looking up the derivation of the names though I couldn't find anything on The Land of Nod other than it being a pub. Freezywater is winning for me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
