If Welsh hocan means to peddle or to sell abroad and hoel means a paved way or road, why is hen ("old") required in Hockenhull/Hocanhoel? --Wetman (talk) 21:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Don't know - that's what the source says. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 22:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Incidentally, why change "Black Prince" to "Edward, the Black Prince"? In Britain he is usually simply referred to as the "Black Prince" and I doubt that many overseas readers will want to read an article about three little bridges in rural Cheshire - and if they do and are intrigued by the title, the link will take them to the appropriate information.
