SOME Bromsgrove and Droitwich residents will have extra cause to feel festive as they live on one of the 560 streets across the Midlands which have a Christmas themed name.

Holly Street is the top name nationally with almost 990 listings but others include Christmas Pie Avenue, Myrrh Street, Jingles Lane, Bethlehem Way, Garland Place and Sleigh Drive.
Roads in Bromsgrove with Christmas connections include Chestnut Road, Stable Way, Firs Close and Holly Road. To go with the latter one, there is an Ivy Lane in Romsley. And there is also Robins Hill Drive in Alvechurch and Shepherds Way in Droitwich.
