Tosside
Tosside is a small village on the border of North Yorkshire and Lancashire in Northern England. It lies within the Forest of Bowland, and is between the villages of Slaidburn in Lancashire and Wigglesworth in North Yorkshire. It lies 11.5 miles north of Clitheroe and 17 miles northwest of Skipton. The village is above sea level and lies at 54.0001°N / 2.35436°W on the B6478. ==Location and history==
Tosside is situated on the Lancashire/North Yorkshire border - literally. The village is split with the eastern half being in North Yorkshire and the western half being in Lancashire. Historically, the entire village lay within the West Riding of Yorkshire. The name Tosside is believed to be derived from Old Norse/Anglo-Saxon. It can be traced back to two old Scandinavian words - 'Tod' meaning fox and 'Saetr' meaning a high summer pasture. The name gradually changed to Toddsett, then Tossett and ultimately to Tosside. This fact is recognised to this day with the symbol of the fox being present on the top of the small water fountain at the centre of the village.
