  3. Fanny Hands Lane sounds like it might be a polite modernisation of the old Gropecunt Lane... Up until the 16th century it was normal for streets to be named after what happened there, and many towns had a Gropecunt Lane where prostitution was carried on. It's too close to be anything else, isn't it?
