If you want to play a little game with someone, arrange to meet them in Lye Close in Clifton, off Canynge Square near the Redgrave Theatre. It’s circled in the A to Z map to the left.
The problem is that Lye Close does not exist. It is a dastardly trick by the makers of the Bristol A to Z, known as an Easter egg or ‘trap street’, included in the map to strengthen A to Z’s case in a possible copyright dispute if another company has used their maps and passed them off as their own. How else would Lye Close appear on a map if not from simply copying the A to Z?
I have been boring amazing my friends all weekend with this brilliant factoid.

Sefton Park Road is the real trap street .. Police caught bank robbers there by blocking both ends.
