In the following contribution to the Transactions of our 

 Society will be found nearly all the names in the region of 

 Upper Teesdale that occur in the one-inch-to-a-mile Ord- 

 nance Maps of the district. There are doubtless still more 

 names on the Ordnance Maps on the larger scale, and many 

 mt)re in the knowledge of the inhabitants of the valley. 



These, however, which have been collected and arranged 

 in alphabetical order are, it is believed, sufficiently numerous 

 to give a good idea of the quality of the place-nomenclature 

 of Upper Teesdale. 



The names have been taken from the divisions of the 

 above maps marked GUI. S.W. Co. Durham ; CII. N.E. 

 Appleby; and CII, S.E. 



On these the outlines of the Upper Teesdale district 

 assumed for the collection of names may easily be traced ; 

 thus on cm. S.W. Durham, the eastern boundary is 

 the Eoman road or Watling Street, from where it comes 

 in at Wath Urn, near the south-east corner of the map, as 

 far as Bolam on the north, thence the north boundary runs
