This isn't in Westbury, Wiltshire is it? I've noticed they are building there and naming their roads after horse breeds!!
 
What you must look out for tho is the one with a casual misspelling...HHOuse....then we'll know its one of us at work at the local Council!:-)

Ha ha brilliant two new developments in Wiltshire with the same "great original idea" of using horse breeds for their street names, genius! lol

Is it Swindon by any chance? I'm sure I drove past a new development up there the other week with a breed name but might be going mad!
 
They're great. Near where I used to live there is

Bridle Drive
Paddock Close
Fetlock Close
Saddle Close
Shire Road
And Farrier Court
Just there too is Tinsley Close. Tinsley was the name of a landowner donkey's years ago and whose spinster daughters used to run a riding school. The school is still there but under differeent ownership.
 
I worked for a large housebuilder many moons ago and it was my job to name roads. Sometime the developer/council had a theme but one site came up and I named all the streets after horses I'd known and loved :D

If you live on Bella Close (lovely little Welsh A mare), Crown Way (Crown Regent, a fab grey arab allrounder) or Tarn Close (another arab, potty but lovely) in Heanor you know why :D
 
Funny how they give nice countryside sounding names to a previously picturesque area that has just been concreted over! Not far away there is a typically awful new development called "Whispering Oaks" - well there were some before the developers got to work!
 
An estate around my way (also in Wiltshire) has an estate full of roads named after race courses. For example there is;

Sandown Drive
Ascot Close
Cheltenham Drive (Lived there)
Chester Close
Goodwood Way
Newbury Drive
Haydock Close
Epsom Close
Warwick Drive

It used to be a farm :(
 
I lived in Hispano Close. I'm trying to remember the builder of our house and estate as all the other roads and closes had much the same names as you've listed.
 
Would like to name a house Hanoverian House someday. Think it sounds very posh. At the moment ours should be Rabble Roost or Menagerie Manor - no fancy pets, just lots of reprobates!
