West Howe
West Howe is a suburb of Bournemouth, Dorset, situated in the north-west area of the borough.
==Origins==
The district takes its name from the Old English noun 'howe', usually defined as denoting a ridge of high ground.〔West Howe History Group, ''West Howe Proper'' (Wimborne: Word and Action (Dorset) Ltd., 1983), p. 18. ISBN 0-904939-28-6〕 Certainly, there is a ridge of high land in this part of Bournemouth, and it was along this ridge that the hamlets of High Howe, West Howe and East Howe were established.
The area was mainly farmland until the early years of the twentieth century, when E. A. Elliot moved his pottery works here from Bear Cross further north. The clay was superior to that at Bear Cross and from 1912, roofing tiles and terra cotta ware were manufactured here in addition to bricks that were being used in the course of Bournemouth's urban expansion. By 1927, bricks for domestic fireplaces were also being manufactured here along with drainage pipes, this continuing until 1966 when the potteries were closed.〔() 〕
