The shortest road name (name, not number) in the UK that I've found so far is A.B. Row in Birmingham. Is there a shorter one (Avenue and Street etcetera not Ave and St etc)?

Baloo, I managed to find N Row in London. At least that is what it shows on google maps. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q=N+row,+Westminster&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr BTW AB Row in Birmingham was originally the boundary between Aston and Birmingham. Hence the name. Jul 02 08, 6:05 PM

Nice one. Ta. [heads off to look for London A-Z] [comes back with A-Z] Sorry, it's North Row according to Philips. Google also list an N Row in Magor, but that's also North http://www.4hotels.co.uk/uk/newport-gwent17231.html Thanks for the A.B. info, anyway. Jul 03 08, 1:53 PM

I've now found one that possibly counts as shorter than A.B. Row. That has five letters, but two stops as well. I passed a road in a district of Huddersfield the other day and couldn't believe what I thought the name plate said. Eventually found my West Yorkshire Street Guide and I was right. It did say Solid. OK, anyone know why a little side road should be called Solid? Not Solid Place or Road. Just Solid. Oct 13 08, 4:53 PM

"A B Row" contains no full stops - but does have 2 spaces! Maybe the shortest streetname with the most name parts! BUT - the street's under threat! Jul 14 12, 6:53 AM

There's more... "Hide", London and "Ross" W. Midlands from http://realcycling.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/long-and-short-of-london-street-names.html Jul 14 12, 8:16 AM

Nice work there! 'Hide' could come from 'hithe' or the land measurement, but no-one's yet explained 'Solid'.... Jul 14 12, 5:30 PM
