It turned out the estate had been built on the site of a former hospital in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Ruchill Hospital – which treated patients with infectious diseases such as Scarlet fever, Tuberculosis and Smallpox – was closed in 1998 and sold a year later.
It lay dormant for over two decades before work began on low density housing.
Locals shared their thoughts on the unusual street names, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One said: “I know it’s the former site of a hospital but these names are ridiculous.

A second added: “I’m all for acknowledging the history of a site.
“But they could have been a bit more creative with the names.”
One resident joked: “Is there a Colonoscopy Avenue?”

“Not least jab-seekers allowance.”
And someone else replied: “I hope some mad conspiracy theorist lives at Vaccine Drive.
“Would be great taxi driver chat as well.”
