Blackfordbyとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Blackfordby is a small village about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the northwest of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in England. It is supposedly named after the Black Ford where water from the village spring crosses the main street over a coal outcrop. (There is no coal under Blackfordby as it lies on what is known as "The Boothorpe Fault".) On some early maps, such as the one dated AD 1587, the village is shown as "Blaugherby", hence the local name of "Blofferby".
