Which got us thinking - how many other Warrington road names need changing due to their level of cheek?
We're going to kick things off with the most obvious...
1. Cockhedge Lane
An easy one for any comedians visiting the town to get the ball rolling with this observational gag.
Answers on a postcard how this area of the town got the name...
2. Slag Lane
We can only imagine what went on here
3. Longbutt Lane
Oddly, Google has decided to blur out Lane but decided 'Butt' is okay?
4. The Farthings
And we find it hard to believe this sign has never been messed with. Met Office yet to confirm if this is the windiest part of town
5. Fiddlers Ferry Road
This one seems perfectly normal when you've grown up next to it but you're guaranteed a guffaw from out-of-towners.
Sadly none of Warrington's snigger-worthy examples made it on to the top 10 funniest place names compiled by insurance provider Swiftcover earlier this year.
The top 10 in full included:
Bell End, Worcestershire
Brown Willy, Cornwall
Boggy Bottom, Hertfordshire
Twatt, Orkney
Nob End, Lancashire
Fanny Barks, Durham
Scratchy Bottom, Dorset
Minge Lane, Worcestershire
Dicks Mount, Suffolk
Crotch Crescent, Oxford
Think we have missed any?
