sleightsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Sleights (pronounced like "tights") is an English village, rumoured to be the largest in North Yorkshire, England. It is located in the Esk Valley in the postal region of Whitby, and is part of the borough of Scarborough. The village is strung out along the steep main A169 road that runs north - south between Whitby and Pickering across the North York Moors. At the top end of the village is 'Blue Bank' with a gradient of 1 in 4 (25%). Following numerous accidents on the hill over the years, the side of Blue Bank is equipped with an escape lane of soft sand to stop vehicles whose brakes fail careering into buildings at the bottom of the hill.
