No Ope
I can't find any confirmation. However, I reckon someone from the Isle of Portland with a wry sense of humour has erected this 'unofficial' road name to reflect Chiswell and Castletown being one of the most deprived areas in the country. This is especially so ever since the Navy left harbour over a decade ago.
"Ope" is a Portland word for "opening to the sea". Lerrett Ope recalls the unique lerret boats designed for fishing. Big Ope speaks for itself whilst elsewhere on the island there is Clay Ope and Church Ope.
Kim of course knocked up the collage. Thanks again!
