The Discworld Comes to...Somerset?
The Somerset town of Wincanton was officially 'twinned' with the Discworld city of Ankh-Morpork in 2002. The town's ties with the fictional city were strengthened when a new housing estate, Kingwell Rise, had several streets named after streets in Ankh-Morpork. Peach Pie Street and Treacle Mine Road are among the new street names unveiled by Sir Terry Pratchett himself.

I'd love to live on Treacle Mine Road.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a Dutch city (Geldrop) which has a whole neighbourhood dedicated to Tolkien. Man I would love to live at '5 Fangorn' or '31 Lothlorien'. :)
