the_rage Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just noticed that the council have changed the road name on Jordabthorpe from Selly Oak Road to Selly Oaks Road. They have planed to sparkling signs at each end of the road. Just wondered if there have been any other road name changes or mistakes in Sheffield?

abbeyedges Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I remember some years ago a Sunday tabloid running a piece on the misspelling of 'Hazelbarrow' Road on the Jordo estate. I think there were three different spellings on different road signs - all within close proximity of each other. Probably been corrected by now Edited May 27, 2015 by abbeyedges Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mda03cn Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've seen quite a few signs in S5 that claim to be part of S4. And quite a few people with an S5 postcode claiming to live in Ecclesfield :-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
