quaint addresses

There aren't any numbers on the houses here. They just get names, so like our house is called Rose Cottage. Our address is Rose Cottage, Back Lane, Upper Oddington. Then the zip code and Britain and that's it. The streets have to be pretty small to get away with this, and it definitely causes some confusion because all the houses tend to have quaint English names, like The Little Barn or The Ploughshare, and so they get repeated often. Two doors down from us? Rose Cottages, plural. In Lower Oddington I noticed three Rose Cottage's. I wonder how those are distinguished from each other.

Some of the names hint at some history, like The Little Chapel, which was indeed a chapel back in the '50's, and The Old Post Office. The other day while I was out walking a truck driver (sorry, lorrie driver) stopped and asked me if I knew where The Old Stone House was. I almost burst out laughing. Do I know where an old stone house is?
