- Does anyone else agree that this may be the Cabbage Hall mentioned in the 1891 Census. It is the dwelling listed as just before Nont Sarah’s. Any ideas why it may have been called Cabbage Hall?
Attachments:
It looks like it could be. The census return suggests the enumerator was walking eastwards: Crowther Laithe > Cabbage Hall > Nont Sarahs > Carr Top.
It might not be relevant in this particular case, but the O.S. surveyors (and perhaps also non-local census enumerators?) sometimes struggled with the local pronunciation of “hole” and recorded it as “hall”, e.g. Dead Man’s Hole in Upperthong.
