Booze from Fell End Hush
Looking across Slei Gill to the hamlet of Booze, and not a pub to be seen! The origin of the name 'Booze' is from 'boga' and 'hus' - a mixture of old English and Norse, meaning the house on the curve of the hill. In 1473 it was called 'Bowehous'.

Booze from Fell End
A zoom shot of the hamlet from the large cairn on Fell End. There is no pub in Booze - the unusual name comes from the Old Norse for a farm and has the same derivation as Bootle, Boot and Booth.

A view of Booze
Despite the rather enticing name of this hamlet, no hostelries or dens of iniquity will be found here. Booze is derived from 'Bowehous', a mix of old English and Norse, meaning the house on the curve of the hill - which is an apt description.

Booze
At the height of the lead mining activities in the middle of the nineteenth century there were over two hundred inhabitants in Booze. There are now just a handful with several houses in ruins. The hamlet is only accessible by a very steep road and was only connected to mains electricity in the 1960s. The name Booze probably means 'the house by the bend'.

The Road to Booze
The road to the delightfully named settlement at Booze climbs steeply from Langthwaite in Arkengarthdale before reaching this level stretch. The road is so narrow and steep in places that at one time recently there was a move by the Post Office to discontinue deliveries of mail; the threat must have passed for a PO. van was seen on the road shortly before this image was recorded.

Booze.
Booze (Norse for 'the house on the curved hillside') is now just a cluster of farm buildings, but was once a thriving mining community with more than 40 houses.
