Hi, 1801 Quote.... "There was a few cottages in High Town, soon to be known as Donkey Hall" It would appear that the area obtained this name after a donkey was used to haul bricks to High Town Road from a demolished property, I think it was to build a church or similar. Sorry but that is all I can remember without searching through all my books.
