- The names of the roads around this district are the "Cuts" and "The Office". The "Cuts" got its name because long ago it was all rock and a narrow passage was cut with sledges. There was only room for one car to pass at a time.
The "Office" got its name because there was an Office held on the side of that road before Churches were built. They are very old. They are still used.
