Chicken and egg naming

Inspired by an adjacent thread. I'd already heard of the (possibly apocryphal) Station Road Station, but now I find there's also Junction Road Junction:

On the Overground the North London line  being diverted from Broad Street to North Woolwich from Dalston Junction  Non pasenger from Dalston to Stratford Low Level (now DLR^▸ (Docklands Light Railway)) pre Beeching.

Also link from New Cross Gate to Peckham reinstated to allow East london Line trains to become South London Line trains. Although no stations on the link. Also link from Wandsworth to Clapham Junction Windsor side previously no regular passenger services for years.

Through trains from ECML^▸ (East Coast Main Line) at Finsbury Park to Moorgate.

DLR using parts of freight only heavy rail links between  Limehouse, Popular, Bow.

Tottenham and Hampstead: Junction Road Jn to Gospel Oak new platform, service diverted from Kentish Town.

Sinfin?

What other place names do people know like this? Is there Bridge Road Bridge, for instance?

There was Box Signal Box

Not quite the same, but

The Lymington Seawater Baths are in Bath Road, so I guess that makes them the Bath Road baths, even if that's not their official name.

(Of course that has no railway connection, if that's what you want.)

And here's another unofficial one, from the Bristol Post:

The Knowle and Totterdown Local History Society (KTLHS) are trying to find out more about the history of Hillcrest School, also known as Knowle Primary, or simply as School Road school.

I was thinking railway connections ideally ^ more expecting than requiring ^ but that is a good example.

There's the old chestnut that is Bristol Bridge - where 'Bristol' means 'place of the bridge'. Then of course the water it spans is the River Avon - where 'Avon' means 'river' (in Welsh, as if this could get any worse...).

So to be clear, Bristol Bridge is the bridge at the place where the bridge over the river that's a river is. Or summat. Ooze round is it?

If you need to refer to that bridge, I guess you would say Bridge Road bridge - but do most bridges have official names anyway?

Bridge Street Bridge, however, has a whole Wikipedia disambiguation page all to itself:

Bridge Street Bridge may refer to:

    Bridge Street Bridge (Newark)
    Bridge Street Bridge (Trenton)
    Bridge Street Bridge (Connecticut River)
    Bridge Street Bridge in Elkhart, Indiana
    Bridge Street Bridge, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
    Victoria Bridge, Montreal, the bridge at the base of Bridge Street, Montreal

Excellent!

River Ouse. That's another one!

I seem to recall a Junction Road Junction somewhere.

[TonyK]

There's more than one Street Road in these western parts, but I can't think of a Road Street.

[stuving]

How about Street High Street?
Or, for a simple reduplication (and railway station), Bath Spa? Of course Baden-Baden will always win that competition.

In the original post in this topic, possibly?

Whoops!

Not quite what the OP^▸ (Original Poster / topic starter, or Off Peak, depending on context) is asking, but I was watching an old episode of QI last night, and the following place name in Cumbria was mentioned:

Torpenhow Hill.

'Tor' and 'pen' are English alternates for the word 'hill, 'how' comes from an Old Norse word also meaning 'hill'. Thus a translation could be:

Hillhillhill Hill.
