Talk:Blue Bell Hill

Where does the name come from?

My understanding is that the name came from from an old pub/coaching inn - formerly the "Blue Bell", perhaps later the "Old Bell" and latterly the "Upper Bell" (demolished 2013). At the bottom of the hill is the Lower Bell (still extant) and the history I've heard is that in coaching days, the road was very poor and steep, and there was only room for one coach at a time, so bells were used to signal coaches as they left either inn. Alternatively, the bells were used to summon additional horses from the other to assist a difficult ascent or descent. Can anybody point to any published confirmation, as I believe it is worthy of inclusion, either here or in Blue Bell Hill (village) There is also the matter of the BBC mis-naming Bluebell Hill transmitting station which could do with some explanation.
