Roads filed under LA17

Named roads first, then numbered ones. A road is filed under one district even where it runs through several, so a street missing here may be listed under a neighbouring district — which is why the address lookup never calls a British street absent. Great Britain has no open register of buildings, so a listed road never means a building on it exists.

• Back Lane
• Buckhorn Lane
• Burlington Close
• Combe Crescent
• Grizebeck Brow
