This area is named 'Foul Ford' as it is one of the lowest-lying areas of Berwick ... before the days of proper drainage, all the 'gardy-loo' rubbish ('gardez l'eau' was shouted as human-waste products were thrown into the street) and horse-muck from the streets, plus butchery remnants would end up here. (Yeuch!)
