Tonge

South of Castle Hill between Bradshaw Brook and the River Tonge. The name is supposed to be derived from the Old English 'tang' or 'twang' meaning a fork in a river.

North lies Tonge Moor. It used to be owned by the Starkie family, and the public house 'The Starkie Arms' remembers this, the family used to live in Hall'Ith'Wood.

East is Thicketford Road.
