The Nottinghamshire village with two names and street signs with different spellings

There is a tiny village nestled in the borough of Rushcliffe with an estimated population of around 95 people. Comprising of mostly farmland, drivers are taken down a long, bumpy road to arrive at the few homes that are located there.

They are met with a street sign welcoming them by saying: 'Tythby: please drive carefully'. What is different about this village, though, is that only a few metres away is another sign with the village's name - but with a different spelling.

While 'Tythby' and 'Tithby' only have one letter difference, it's a rarity to have an area seemingly with two ways of saying and spelling its name. And, according to some locals, there is even a third way of spelling it.
