About
Despite being created more than 160 years ago, this street outside the Levenshulme train station in Manchester has never had an official title. Neighbours began to refer to it as “the street with no name” and over the decades it has stuck.
As recognition of its unique status, nearby residents put up a sign bearing the curious moniker. Sadly, the sign disappeared later that summer, but eventually it was replaced with a new, larger sign, installed 12 feet off the ground to discourage thieves.
Nothing to do with U2, as far as anyone knows.
