Now am I mistaken, or is it not the case ... Blimey, now there's a convoluted sentence! :-) ... that English towns that end with the suffix "shire" were originally built up around a salt work? You are mistaken, Joe. The ending "shire" is an Anglo Saxon word meaning administrative district. No mention whatsoever is made of salt works. http://www.britannica.com/eb/articl...=shire&ct= |
