Reader Comments for Checkbar
Galahill (or Gallowhill) Farm. My granny's main income was earned from fruit, flowers and chickens. She died sometime in the eighties but left the farm a few years earlier to live in Torry. My Granny's name was Helen Gordon but I believe she was also known as Helen Robb as I think she may have married my step grandfather.
The reason for my e-mail is that I am thinking of visiting the area next year and wondered if the farmhouse is still there as if it is I would like to visit it. I cannot make out on the maps on line whether or not it is still there but I can see the area has changed a lot and if the farmhouse is no longer there I may not want go there but I think would still like to see Cove and Aberdeen again and other areas such as Duncanstone ,Leslie and Kennethmont where I believe a lot of my family come from. I would be very grateful for any information that anyone has on this.
Thank you
Also on streetlist.co.uk, can you help?

Can You Help?Napps Way
15th April 2024
Why is the road called Napps Way (belonging to Napp, but minus an
apostrophe as is usual with such nomenclature)? Moreover, who or
what is, or was, “Napp” in the respective, possessive case?
Several years ago, I met an elderly man (probably in his late-eighties)
who lives on Bentham Drive, Liverpool 16, and during a conversation
with him whilst in a Northwest Passenger Transport Ambulance on the
way to the former RLUH (Royal Liverpool University Hospital), he told
me that he could remember (when he was a boy, living in Childwall,
Liverpool 16) that, “Where Napps Way is now, during WW2, there was
a two-man gun emplacement on the, then, open land to protect the
railway line passing over Childwall Valley Road - next to the railway
bridge - when suddenly, as they were loading a live “shell” into the gun’s
breach, the aforementioned “shell” accidentally exploded in the gun’s
breach killing both of the two soldiers, that had been manning the gun,
instantly! (Very sad, of course, but could - perhaps - two ghosts relating
to those two, very unfortunately and prematurely-killed soldiers have
haunted that place of their deaths ever since - and have any residents
of Napps Way - formerly and in its latest incarnation - seen two, WW2
(uniformed) soldiers unexpectedly appear in or near their homes?)

Why is Mauritius Road so called, since when and by whom? Does Greenwich have any particular links with Mauritius? Very interested to know. 🤞🏼
