English: Unsliven Bridge Farm The farm sits at the very bottom of Underbank reservoir dam. What an interesting name. Can anyone show any light on this?
Terry Robinson has just got in touch and writes: "I'm pretty sure that this is Bridge Farm and not Bank Farm ... it is certainly described thus on the 1903 OS map. As for the meaning of the word Unsliven ... I have used the following explanation on a picture of Unsliven Bridge, which I have just submitted to Geograph ... you can use it on your picture if you wish ... "According to an entry in the second edition of the Around Stocksbridge book compiled by Stocksbridge and District Historical Society ... Unsliven is a misspelling of the word Unsleven, which itself is said to have derived from the word Unshriven which means Unblessed." Many thanks Terry.
