The 'Rabbit Run'. B4176 nickname
Discussion
Theres a road in Shropshire the B4176, that is known locally as the 'rabbit run'. Its been known as the 'rr' for donkeys years but do you think I can find an explanation for its nicknamed the 'rabbit run'.
Wondering if theres any locals on here with enough miles under their belt so to speak who can recall how the road got its nickname?

great road but can catch out the foolish!
My parents first drove it in the 60's and thats what they called it.great road but can catch out the foolish!
Never been caught out on it myself but as I travelled back from Telford on Monday there was a 1 car 1 van collision just near the 30mph bend.
Biggest problem with it these days seems to be the flooding that occurs after not much rain.
Still no closer to finding out how it got its nickname though.
