butt hole road was a short, residential street in conisbrough. it extended approximately south from the a630 sheffield road, and intersected with two other streets, butterbusk and ravens walk, prior to terminating at a dead end. the street featured four homes on its east side, numbered 1, 3, 5, and 7. it gained international notoriety for its suggestive naming, as the term "butthole" is slang for "anus" in american english. in 2004, a reuters article widely circulated on the internet about a family who moved out of their £150,000 bungalow on the street, simply because they were embarrassed by the street's name. doncaster council, the local governing body, has no record of where butt hole road got its name; however, residents of the street believe that it was named after a communal water butt that was originally located in the area. one resident living on the street initially thought the address "would be fun", but claimed that the novelty quickly wore off. after a picture of the street sign appeared on the internet, the street became so famous that tour buses would stop at the street for american tourists to visit. the street sign was constantly stolen over time, and tourists would be seen taking pictures in front of the sign with their buttocks exposed.
