There are a fair few quirky place and street names across the UK, but there’s one street considered to have the ‘rudest name’. Bell End is a historic road in the West Midlands town of Rowley Regis.
It’s only short, spanning 0.2 miles (or 320 metres) yet has received a lot of media attention recently due to its risque name. In December a statue of Russian president Vladmir was erected on Bell End. People even threw eggs at the statue, which was complete with a plaque stating “Bellend of the year”.
In 2018 a petition was launched calling for its name to be changed as people claimed children were being bullied at school. Our colleagues at BirminghamLive visited the road to see how residents found life there, although the statue of Putin had already been removed. Here’s what they found out.
