How cool would it be to have these addresses's!

[Potato!]

I work for a housing developer and just had the news that the roads on one of our developments have been road names by the council. Each road name is a breed of horse. Just thought id share as it put a smile on my face []

This isn't in Westbury, Wiltshire is it? I've noticed they are building there and naming their roads after horse breeds!!

 

[Potato!]

It is in Wiltshire but not Westbury

 

[SaharaS]

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!

 

[Toffee44]

There is a Clydesdale Way near me

 

[shellonabeach]

Where I am in Cambs there is an estate called Cavalry Park where all the roads are named after horses / horse related themes eg Camargue Drive, Ireton Way, Breton Way, Greys Lane, Dragoon Drive, Hunters chase, The Shires, Cleveland Bay etc etc

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!

 

[starryeyed]

Ooooh that's great!!

 

[midnight mayhem]

I'll have palomino place too...and another house on mustang way, I am greedy like that ;-)

 

[Boxers]

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.

That's so cool, I want to live on a cool named road like that

 

[Saucisson]

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

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

 

[Potato!]

Yes it's in Swindon

 

[Irishcobs]

Westbury have a Brabant Road. I think I should take my Brabant x down there for a meet and greet

 

[Crugeran Celt]

How about Cob Corner?

 

[attheponies]

I'd like to live in palomino place but also reckon that warmblood way sounds better than mustang way!

 

[Amy&]

I noticed at work the other day somebodys address was "Unicorn Yard" (as the street name) sounds lovely!

 

[Dubsie]

Near us is a Farriers Close where the farrier 's house and forge was. Is ultra urbanised & modernised house now and totally spoilt. Can only just remember it as was - a field, now a cul de sac of bungalows.

 

[attheponies]

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!

 

[ItsAllPoppyCock]

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

 

[Hedgewitch13]

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.

 

[teazle]

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!

 

[millsandboon]

In Newbury there is:
Equine Way
Stirrup Close
Horseshoe End and
The Halters
