Talk:Samuel Crompton

Hall i'th Wood
or the Hall-i'-th'-Wood (pronounced Al-i-thwood) 
 * I have asked around and no one else that I have found from Bolton recognises that pronunciation. The answer below sums out the pronunciation quite well.
 * 'Al' suggests a short 'A' as in Al Jolson, which would be quite wrong.
 * The 'A' is long as in All. The aitch is sometimes dropped, but nowadays generally not, in my experience.
 * Also the grouping suggest the wrong arrangement of syllables.
 * The name is pronounced as a two-syllable word with the stress on the first syllable:
 * Hallith/wood

 * Has anyone found any evidence of the suggested pronounciation (Al-i-thwood)? If not then can it be removed or corrected? --jmb 06:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
