Excerpt from Fortunes Made in Business, Vol. 2: A Series of Original Sketches; Biographical and Anecdotic From the Recent History of Industry and Commerce The hardy, vigorous, plain - spoken Yorkshire men who settled in this lofty region did not trouble themselves to think out euphonious or high-sounding names for the Odd nooks and corners of the hill-side, which gradually became peopled as the locality developed into a manufacturing district. Spades were spades to them, and they christened their dwelling grounds, homesteads, and landmarks in con formity with their physical peculiarities or their special associations.

A field in the-same vicinity was called Bloody Ing, and a block of houses subsequently built thereon was styled Bloody Bow.
