[Thinks: at last, a use for the Postcode Database...]

I suspect your answer is 'Mossside', although according to the
postcode db it has a space in it.

If spaces /are/ allowed, you can also have:
Asthall Leigh
Bell Lake
Blymhill Lawn
Holywell Lake
Mynydd Du (the spillchucker wants to change it to 'Mended VDU'!)
Three Elms
Yew Tree Estate
(and my favourite)
Nempnett Thrubwell

The only apostrophied one I could find was Buss's Green.

And I do know the answer! (It happened to come up in a crossword
