A ROAD in York has the second rudest name in the UK, according to a recent study. The research, carried out by motoring experts at LeaseVan.co.uk, has ranked Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, York s shortest street, to have the second rudest name in the country. A spokesperson from the organisation said: This silly name is longer than the very short street it belongs to. Dating back to 1505, the original name of Whitnourwhatnourgate translates to ‘what a street’. Visitors to York can also enjoy a visit to Goodramgate and Back Swinegate. The street is always crowded with tourists taking pictures in front of the novelty street sign - and it s believed the city s whipping post and stocks once stood there.
