Shitterton? Let’s hope it’s not a dump – man visits places with hilarious names
GLOBE-trotting Nicholas Hale has spent 26 years posing in places with naughty names.
He has tracked down locations ranging from Yorkeys Knob, in Cairns, Australia, to Shitterton in Dorset.
The cruise ship singer and comedian said: “It’s a pathetic obsession really but I think everyone can relate a bit.
"When most people see a rude place name, they have a little, childish chuckle.”
The 50-year-old was inspired as a child when he was driven through Wetwang, a village near his home in Scarborough, North Yorks.
British favourites include Bell End in Rowley Regis, West Mids, Butthole Lane in Shepshed, Leics, Cockshoot Close in Witney, Oxon, Minge Lane in Upton upon Severn, Worcs, Penistone in South Yorks, The Glory Hole in Lincoln, Muff in Londonderry and Titty Ho, Northants.
Foreign faves include Rimsting and W*nk mountain, both in Germany.
Nicholas said: “Some of them are hard to find because signs get stolen.”
