"Grape" Lanes were usually spelt with an "o" way back when, and were where the whores hung out (hence you'd go for a grope). Oddly, civic societies rarely try to point this out when demanding that the past is recreated...
Any other hidden rude names out there?

Cunt was already in use, and Gropecunt Lane was named so because the whores used to ply their trade there.
There was a 'Gropecunt Lane' or similar name in most major towns.

Cunnilingus means something along the lines of 'cunt-tongueing'.

you zoom out a couple of times the two roads "Newhall road" and "Park Avenue" are crossed by "Bell End" in a rather funny way. Try it. You might like it.
