  1. Local Place Names

    Share Share Post
    The names of our fields are, the house field, the field at Lambes, the Paddock, the well field, the middle field, Grange field, the high jump field, the cottage field, the big firs, and the road field. There are no names for streams only the well stream, because it rises in the well. There are no names for the hollows, or nights, that are on our farm.
    There are no rocks, only one big lone bush which we call "the big lone bush".
    The names were given according to the places they are situated.
    My mother told me this information.
