I nominate this one as a candidate. Thetford Road is so short that it only requires six white lines down its entire length. It is named, like its neighbours, after Norfolk towns, although no properties have a Thetford Road postal address (the two near corner houses are in Yarmouth Road and the farther two in Sheringham Road). It is not a segment of a road which continues beyond some barrier – this is all there is of it. A strong counterclaim to this title will be found at: Image, and another at: Image
