No castles, no fairy hills, no 14th Century haunted graveyards. No catacombs lined with the bones of heretics. It's enough to depress a person
That really made me chuckle :P especially the catacombs lined with the bones of heretics hehe.

Talking of cool street names:

In Halifax there is a street called Gibbet Street, it's where the Gibbet used to be. Cutting across Gibbet Street.... is Hope Lane.

The Halifax Gibbet is the reason for this medieval proverb: "From Hell, Hull and Halifax, God preserve us."
