Walk up Red Hat Lane and turn left onto Ubuntu Avenue. Carry on across Suse Street as far as Knoppix Road, Debian Way and Slackware Crescent, off which you'll find Fedora Close.

We have clusters of streets named after birds, trees, flowers and even world war 2 heros in Melksham. Perhaps Trowbridge (where this picture was taken) is looking to get really modern and use Linux distribution names ... or (more likely) there is some historic significance to "Red Hat Lane"
