Darowyn	Folklore: maps of generic names for waterways (16)	RE: Folklore: maps of generic names for waterways	06 Sep 11
"Ouse" is a river name that comes up in many parts of the UK, possibly indicating a slow-running stream. "Gypseyraces" are, as far as I know, limited to the Yorkshire Wolds. The word is used to describe an unreliable stream, that flows intermittently. Bridlington has 'The Gypseyrace', which is both the name of a rusty old dredger in the Harbour and the stream that flows into the harbour. The Gypseyrace formed the boundary at the bottom of our garden when we lived there, which is why I own a webpage of that name. Cheers Dave
