Millthorpe - the village where the street has no name
| Updated: 15:46, 12 March 2021
If youâve ever felt your part of the world has been neglected or is lacking a bit of identity, spare a thought for the villagers of Millthorpe.
Next week residents will choose a name for their main street which has stood anonymously since it was built and left a host of bemused delivery drivers in its wake.
It has been dryly listed as Village Street in council records since 1886 - a generic monicker given to unnamed streets and lanes.
To Royal Mail, it has no street name at all, with homes simply identified as house number and village name.

For many reasons, there have been charities chosen that have supported staff members through difficult times.
Over the duration of 12 months, one standard trench box from each depot will be sprayed black and branded with the relevant charity’s logo, where it will advertise and raise awareness for the charity while on sites across the region.
MGF will be donating the proceeds of each box to the charity that the depot has chosen, to support and give back to the local organisations that provide support to so many people.
