Abstract:		 he house is situated on the south side of Hoad Lane at the north-east edge of the town of Ulverston. Th lane joins the A590 100m to the east. The house itself is located at NGR SD 29520 788001 and is c20m above sea level. Hoad Lane is located on the outskirts of the core of Ulverston, in an area situated along the lower south flank of Hoad hill. The large house and park to the west, later known as Ford House, was originally named ‘Hoad Style’2, presumably on account of its position as the access to Hoad hill from the town to the west. There is a potentially very long history of settlement in this area. It is situated at the foot of Hoad, which has recently been identified as having a large enclosure circling it that may be of late prehistoric date3. In addition, in the late 19th century a stone axe hammer of probable Bronze Age date was discovered built into the cobbled floor of Oubas Cottage4, to the west of Hoad Lane, which further indicates that there was prehistoric activity in the immediate area. In the earliest references to the area the general settlement in this location is simply all named ‘Moss Side’, presumably on account of its proximity to what was an area of boggy ground to the south before the construction of the canal in 1796 and the associated drainage and enclosure of the land. It is possible that the word ‘side’ in Moss Side might derive from the much earlier Norse word saetr meaning sheiling, a temporary settlement where shepherds would stay while taking their animals onto higher pasture in the summer, in which case it might mean the ‘sheiling near the moss’, but this is uncertain5. The present name of nearby Oubas Hill is also of interest; the first element may derive from another Norse word haugr meaning hill6, from which Hoad is also derived, so Oubas may simply mean ‘at the base or bottom of the hill’. Ironically the word hill has then been added to this.
