to l“Twlstles Bridge, " which mans a beck at the foot of the hill on the roAd to Riirilngton. This Is a cl arm­ ing spot! not'far from Swanside, a favourite haunt of ramblers. The nrime i“Twlstles” has always In­ trigued' be, and a correspondent nriw mentions that Dr. Whltal er, in his “ History of Whalley,” says that “twlstle” is from a Sakori word de- hritlhg a bouridary, as betwee i two neighbouring farms, or the bound­

Mr.. J. G. Nichols, editor of the last edition of Whitaker’s “WhAlley,” sAys, however, that “ twlstle is that pArt of a tree where brataches divide,” and if the same idea Is applied to land; it will represent a double or branched valley.


■ 'This seems to apply perfectly to Twistles Bridge, which is over one ol two streams which flow together arid unite just below the trldge. 'The bridge I Is not' built at the “twlstle,” but it is near enoogh to
