Butt Hole Road comes to an end

One road in South Yorkshire (the one in England not the pudding) was so sick of being the butt of jokes that it was forced to change it’s name. After internet postings the sign had become famous and tourists would bare themselves in front of the sign for pictures.

Some residents had become so fed up with the name of the road they had moved.

The street was probably named after a communal water butt.

A rainwater tank sometimes called rain barrels in America are called water butts in the UK.

There is already a petition to switch the name of the road back to Butt Hole Road.
