Tadley Calleva F
Tadley is a town and civil parish in the English county of Hampshire. During the 1950s and 1960s, the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), now known as AWE, became the area's largest employer, and many houses were built during this period to accommodate AWRE workers. Though the establishment was located in the parish of Aldermaston, most of these houses were built in Tadley. History The origin of the name is uncertain. In old maps and books Tadley can be found spelled as ''Taddanleage'', ''Tederlei'', ''Titherley'', ''Tudurley'', ''Tadel'' and ''Taddeley''. As with many other rural British communities, it is assumed that the village began as a clearing in the dense forest which at one time covered the greater part of England. In Old English, ''Tadde'' means 'Toad' or 'Frog' and ''ley'' being 'a clearing in the woods', so it possibly means "a clearing in the woods with frogs". Most sources, however, say that the name means "woodland clearing of a man called ''Tada''" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
