Hailforth
Hailforth is a small hamlet in the civil parish of Holme St. Cuthbert, in Cumbria, United Kingdom. It is located approximately half a mile south-west of the village of Mawbray, and a similar distance north-east of Salta. Carlisle, Cumbria's county town, is situated twenty-five miles to the north-east.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.google.it/maps/@54.8013138,-3.4253504,857m/data=!3m1!1e3 )〕 The hamlet consists of four houses, and is situated on the road which runs from Mawbray to the coast, where it joins the B5300 at Dubmill, three-quarters of a mile to the south-west.
==History and etymology==
The name of Hailforth comes from the Old English ''healh-ford'', meaning a corner or secret ford, and in the past has been spelled Haileforth. While its small size seems to have excluded the hamlet from contemporary mapping projects such as Google Maps, it does appear as a named settlement on older maps,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://users.tinyworld.co.uk/peterostle/mapm1.jpg )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.francisfrith.com/hailforth/maps )〕 and Hailforth appears in the historical record of the region. In the 19th century, several different trades were practised by residents of the hamlet, including carpentry, nail-making, and masonry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hstchg/making.htm )〕 The postmistress for the village of Mawbray and many of the smaller outlying hamlets also lived at Hailforth around the turn of the 20th century. "Postie Mary", as she was known locally, would walk daily across the fields as far as Edderside to deliver the post, in spite of suffering a limp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hstchg/postie.htm )〕 During the Second World War, three young boys who had been evacuated from the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne area were billeted to Hailforth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hstchg/evacueestxt.htm )〕
