London is home to both Warlock Road and Spirit Quay. Hell Pit Lane in Melton Constable stands out while Residents of Dorking will be well aware of Spook Hill. Pumpkin Hill in Slough adds flavour to proceedings.
Steve Rooney, head of Royal Mail’s Address Management unit said: “Halloween is a big deal across the UK so we wanted to find out whether the public interest was reflected in street and house names.
“Given the variety of fantastic examples we found, Brits clearly aren’t too scared by the thought of a spooky address.
“We hope everyone celebrating Halloween this year has a frightfully fun night!”

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
