BeverleyW Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi, I'm writing a poem which includes reference to the hill above Fox Hill at the edge of Grenoside. I've heard it called a few different things. I just wondered what most people in the area call it? Is anyone local who would know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I use to live near Jawbone, relatives and neighbours always called it Jawbone. There is a seat at the top of the hill next to an old stone and I have heard people referring to it as the Birley Stone seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense as the top is in Birley Carr / Grenoside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
