Street names usually reveal some history of the area not known to everyday passers-by and can be named after long-gone landmarks, public houses, nearby streams, and notable people.
Here are 9 of the strangest street names in Sheffield - and the stories behind them.
1. Letsby Avenue
Letsby Avenue is the home of South Yorkshire Police's Operations Complex in Tinsley, and got its name in 2000 as the result of a property developer's joke - a play on the phrase 'lets be 'avin' you' that's indelibly linked with beat bobbies. The council sent the police force a consultation form and senior officers gave the nod. Photo: Google
2. Pomona Street
Pomona Street, which runs behind Ecclesall Road, was named after the Pomona Inn which was once the centre of a pleasure ground known as the Pomona Gardens. The gardens, and the inn, took their name from Pomona, Italian goddess of fruit and gardens. Photo: Google
3. Snig Hill
The name likely comes from the old practice of snigging a load up a hill - bringing it up a bit at a time, or giving it some kind of additional help, with a pole under the rear wheels, or with a secondary horse which was known as a snig horse. Photo: Google
4. Leppings Lane
Leppings is the old name for stepping stones across a stream or river. They were also called leppen stones, or hippen stones. The leppings across the river at Hillsborough were once a well-known feature of the area. Photo: Google
