Nechells
Nechells is an area in inner-city Birmingham, England, with a population of 33,957, according to the 2011 Census.〔''Nechells UK Census Data 2011''.http://www.ukcensusdata.com/nechells-e05001197#sthash.2XnR6Fv6.dpbs〕 It is also a ward within the formal district of Ladywood. Nechells local government ward includes areas, for example parts of Birmingham city centre, which are not part of the historic district of Nechells as such, now often referred to in policy documents as "North Nechells, Bloomsbury and Duddeston".〔''Nechells Community First - Plans for Community First in Nechells 2013-2015''.http://thecommunityfirst.net/nechells/files/2013/02/Nechells-Community-First-Draft-Plan-for-consultation.pdf〕
==Origins of the name==
Early recorded versions of the name include ''Echeles'' (about 1180), ''Le Echeles'' (1290) and ''Le Necheles'' (1322). The latter form of the name derives from "atten Eccheles", "belonging to the ''Eccheles''", an Old English word meaning "land added to a village or estate".〔Ekwall, E. ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names'', 4th ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1960, p.169.〕 The philologist Eilert Ekwall speculated that a more precise meaning could be "land added by clearing," or "land added by draining a marsh".〔Ekwall, E.,"The English Place-Names Etchells, Nechells" in ''Mélanges de Philologie, offerts à M. Johan Vising par ses élèves et ses amis scandinaves, à l'occasion du soixante-dixième anniversaire de sa naissance'', Gothenberg: N.J Gumperts and Paris: E.Champion, 1925, 105-6.〕 In the Middle English period, following the process of language change known as metanalysis,only the "n" in "atten" remained in oral usage and became assimilated to "Eccheles". So, n+Eccheles became the "Nechells" (pronunciation ) of modern usage. However, the pronunciation was also current, as indicated by the spelling of Tomlinson's Map of ''Duddeston and Netchells'', published in 1758.〔Chinn, C. ''The Streets of Brum'', Part 4. Studley:Brewin, 2007, p.3.〕 This pronunciation was also to be heard in the 20th century amongst some older inhabitants of the area.〔Chinn, C. ''One Thousand Years of Brum''. Birmingham: Birmingham Evening Mail, 1999, p. 103.〕
The name "Nechells Green" originally referred to the triangle of land at the meeting point of the present Nechells Park Road, Nechells Place, Bloomsbury Street, Walter Street and Thimble Mill Lane. On Tomlinson's 1758 map the area was indeed shown as a village green surrounded by a few lanes and fields.〔Chinn, ''The Streets of Brum'' p.3〕 In the 1950s and 60s the name was adopted for the re-developed area of Ashted, Duddeston and Vauxhall to the south-west of Nechells itself.〔William Dargue, A History of Birmingham Place Names http://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-n/nechells-green〕
