Description

Dr. Barber fortifies himself by quoting Scott: - Beneath the shade the Northmen came, Fixed on each vale a Runic name. Rokeby, Canto, IV. Here it may not be out of place to mention that Scandinavian influences are occasionally traceable throughout the entire basin of the Trent, even as far as this upper valley of its feeder, the Tame. The place-name Bustleholme (containing the unmistakable Norse root, "holme," indicating a river island) is the appellation of an ancient mill on this stream, just below Wednesbury. In this connection it is interesting to recall Carlyle's words. In his "Hero Worship," the sage informs us of a mode of speech still used by the barge men of the Trent when the river is in a highly flooded state, and running swiftly with a dangerous eddying swirl.
