Dizzy Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 It is Ackers Pit But 'Ackers Lane' ... are you sure about that Algy. As for the origins of the name.... errrrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ackers is norse origin meaning open feild. Pit is a hollow in a field. Ackers Pit - a hollow in an open feild. I reckon the picture would bring close to £9,000 in auction Dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Not much good to me when I only have a photocopy of what I suppose may have been a photograph of it. It does however say "Ackers Pit, Mill Lane about 1900" written in red biro under it. How much is that worth I wonder if you are right with your origin as it sounds convinging enough.
