Professional speaker Sandy Leong presents - Hidden Meanings of Place Names around the UK

The origins of place names give a fascinating insight into Britain’s past history. Some place names come from the earliest inhabitants of Britain, but many are associated with our invaders who have left their mark. Did you know that Nottingham used to be called Snotengaham (Snotts Settlement)? Some place names have evolved over the centuries and others have stayed the same and some aren’t what they seem.
