I don't know whether it's just me but that link convinced Google that I wanted everything in German.

There's a street round the back of Manchester Piccadilly station where the camera car captured a scene of a lady, er, attending to the needs of a gentleman. Somebody at Google renamed the street "Handjob Street" for a few days.

I think it was actually "Handjob Alley", but I feel grubby even admitting to knowing that, or mentioning that Google will soon find you documentary evidence of the event!

Yes. Not too far from Gussett there

Wasn't it you that posted the link on here?

Both Bing maps and OS show the farm buildings there, which suggests the error, intentional or otherwise, is with Streetview.

Weird stuff. The mismatch starts at this junction and continues up to this junction
If you click the forward arrow at each, you are suddenly on a quite different stretch of road that has somehow been mis-mapped on streetview. If it isn't deliberate, then it raises questions about how google maps link their different components together.

Next challenge is to find out where that other road really is.

Another part of the puzzle. Go forward a few clicks from this position on Streetview. The village looks like Elsdon, which should be here, about 12 miles away.
