Residents of 'Butt Hole Road' club together to change the street's unfortunate name. The constant jokes were just too much to take for the long-suffering residents of Butt Hole Road, a street named after a communal water butt that was originally in the area. So despairing households in the suburban street in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, decided that the road's name simply had to change. The road was renamed Archers Way to refer to a medieval castle that is just half a mile away.
In Riverside, California, Wong Way has been renamed Wong Street. The road is named after George Wong, the last resident of Riverside's former Chinatown. Some locals felt insulted.
