Continued mapping of Margaretting and Margaretting Tye near junction of A12.
Changeset: 1240231

Interesting to see that Google Maps and Multimap (MS Virtual Earth) contain 2 identical mispellings of road names in the area. Both have Pennys Lane spelt as "Penny's Lane" (ie with an apostrophe), and both have Ivy Barn Lane as a plural Ivy Barns Lane.
At first, I thought mutual Easter Eggs maybe, but I see that both Virtual Earth and Google Maps/Earth use copyright Tele Atlas data.

In my experience - new-ish road signs tend to leave out the apostrophes - even if older road signs include them (and perhaps the 'official' name includes them). It's not uncommon to have different spellings at either end.

I'm sure you are right Richard. The Pennys Lane sign that I took to be the "correct" version looked old-ish though - 60s concrete posts etc.
All part of the dumbing down of our culture ?
