Discworld books written by Terry Pratchett are celebrated in my local town of Wincanton. In 2002 the town was officially twinned with Ankh-Morpork. A housing estate boasts Discworld street names, including Treacle Mine Road and Peach Pie Street.
The reason for this is a shop in the main street the Discworld Emporium, bringing Discworld to life for over twenty years.
All this means nothing to me i'm afraid as I have never read the books. Each year they hold a Discworld convention and fans come from all over the world to take part in various related functions and dress up as characters from the books. That was today so I went down with my camera to see if I could get a few photos of some of them.
I agree with Louise as I haven't read any of his books. I was fascinated though to hear about Treacle Mind Road as Steve is always telling me about the treacle mines in Budna which is a hamlet near us
