Hareup

I've posted this comment or something similar before but here goes:

Many places round here end in 'hope'.
The origin is Anglo-Saxon meaning side valley and is pronounced 'up'.
Such as
Rookhope - Rookup
Stanhope - Stannup
Middlehope - Midlup
Burnhope - Burnup
Bollihope - Bollyup
and my favourite Shittlehope - Shitlup

Canon EOS Rebel T4i
1/800s f/5.6 at 44.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

They all sound like commands - as in "stannup straight you lot"

A lovely piece of craftsmanship. And I like the explanation of the place names.
