The aspect is slightly downhill (with sides of the Severn Valley behind) and the only hills in view are the railway embankment, and another if that wasn't there. May Hill with it's conifers on top is maybe 15 miles away, obscured the railway.
Indonesian translation is sleep - which doesn't wake me up!
Thanx 4 all your suggestions. I will be at a wedding of Maura who is a hoot. She speaks modern Irish, between the swear words. Maybe she can throw some light on the subject. But I still favour "Belle View" as the intended impression, unless there was humour in likening the railway embankment to a jetty. And portmanteau concoctions from peoples' names is often the case with obscure house names.
