7. Several crosses in one place
Corbar Cross on Corbar Hill, was originally a gift to the Roman Catholic Church in 1950 and replaced in 1980s. But in 2010 it was chopped down during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the UK, as a protest against child abuse at Catholic St Williams School. It was replaced in 2011. Photo: Jason Chadwick
8. The 'misspelled' street
Named after Dr Robert Ottiwell Gifford Bennet one street sign read 'Bennett' and the other one 'Bennet'. It has now been re-signed and misspelt at both ends of the street now. Photo: Google Maps
