GUEST,PMB BS: Biblical? reference: What's the origin? (17) RE: BS: Biblical? reference: What's the origin? 18 Mar 08


Just to confuse matters, someone has pointed out to me that it's actually "City of Three Waters". City of Dan is indeed at the northen end of the town, and I suspect the folks there might have been a bit beyond the pale as regards the rest of the townsfolk.

I'd suspect the names would date from a period of widespread Biblical interest, at least for Dan- that would make it either mid 16th C, 17th C or after the Methodist revival. The buildings suggest the later dates.

When was Windermere made redundant, Q? Does that mean it's on job- seekers' allowance now?

Oh, and you water diviners have missed out Chasewater in on Cannock Chase, another reservoir.
