Blank I must chime in here re the pronunciation of "Whalley." About 10 years ago, my husband and I were in Whalley in England and were very quickly corrected on the pronunciation. NOT "wally," the locals said. MUST be "wohlly" with the O as in toll. Apparently "wally" means something fairly insulting, not sure what.
