There was one in Plymouth called
"The Pennycomequick"

Not what you think you dirty bassas.

It goes back to when there was a ferry and the charges were a penny to go quickly, or a ha'penny to get across slower.

The area is still called Pennycomequick.
 
There was one in Salisbury called 'The Conquered Moon' which was actually the result of the local brewery (Gibbs Mew) in recognition of the moon landings. They also ran a competition for the best slogan for the brewery which resulted in the directors deciding that 'Gibbus Gibbs' was the winner but everybody in the town knew that the answer was 'Gibbs & Mew make you spew!'
