Argleton a (non-existent) town created by Google in UK - #googlemaps

Telegraph is reporting that there is brand new town in UK called Argleton. What's so unique/great about this town? Argleton actually does not exist in real life. It is a brand new town which exists only in Google Maps. So why and how did this happen?

• One theory is that Argleton could have been deliberately added, as a trap to catch companies that violate the map's copyright.
• A spokesman for the Dutch company - Tele Atlas which provided the map data, said it would now wipe the non-existent town from the map. He added: "Mistakes like this are not common, and I really can't explain why these anomalies get into our database."
