Judith Hague Pearson Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to where Nanny Hill in Stocksbridge would have got its name,it is shown on really old maps,thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysander Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 There are several possible origins of the name...none of which seem to me to be significant enough to have a hill called after any of them...except one. Eighteenth century slang for a brothel was "nanny house" so the hill on which there may have been one is a possibility??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
