What is the source for the derivation of Soho?
I have read - possibly in Cockin, T. (2000) The Staffordshire Encyclopaedia, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, Malthouse - that it is derived from an inn on the heath with the name Soho, which is a hunting term equivalent to 'tally ho'. The OED (2nd ed, online, 1989) gives the following definition: 'A call used by huntsmen to direct the attention of the dogs or of other hunters to a hare'. This is as credible as the 'South House' derivation, and I would suggest that we track the relevant sources and identify them here.
