Uxbridge Cornish Dictionary
Readers are invited to submit suggestions for Station names to be added to my garden railway in the future. Names of course must be in Cornish like the rest of the station or halt names.
If I may be so bold as to suggest... "Golerewy" meaning "Field of feast." (It is the Cornish word/phrase from which my family name might be derived. I'm a "Goldsworthy" which I'm told is a Cornish name. It makes some sense since I was born in a coal mining area of Pennsylvania and the Cornish were often miners.)
I'm not too au fait with Cornish, though Polkinfun sprang to mind, or Treypenibitt? Perhaps not...
ReplyDeleteJustrestyn? Pol y Putkettlon? Trefellas?☺

Pol y Putkettlon 😂
DeleteNot sure where it came from, but I like Trebormint..
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any suitable station names, but Petroc Trelawny would be ideal for a Station Master!
