Tee hee! I am indeed thinking of the place in Norway called Hell. I particularly loved the postcards you could buy at Hell Railway Station which said 'Welcome to Hell!"...cool stuff
...AND it was the end of the line I seem to remember!!
(For the Brits/Northerners among us, yes I have indeed been to Hull, Hell AND Halifax...though not necessarily in that order!!
)
However, I also seem to think that in Norwegian 'hell' means 'light' - go figure!!!
(could be wrong though - s'been a while
)
And @ PiB...I think you've come up with a lifeline for somebody there...

You been to Norway? Poor you
Well "hell" in norwegian means "luck". But the wierd thing is that I never thought of the name as luck, but as hell as in english.

by the way, there is a settlement called Kunda in Estonia. once one humorist, a Czech or Slovak, can't remember, visited Estonia and asked to guide him to this place. no one understood why he was interested in it and why he started to send huge number of postcards there. later he explained -- word "kunda" means "c*nt" in his language

For my few penneth worth...
Belsize Park ( a crucial Bounding Gambit!)
or perhaps
Beckton Park ( a regular move in the late 19th century, now out of fashion)

That's odd 'cos I happen to know the scouse word 'hell' is synonymous with manchester & literally translates as "big up nothing"
