Always been 'Chilesmore" to me and everyone I know. Lived on the fringes of Cheylesmore for several years and never heard it pronounced any different.

I agree as a former resident pronounced Charles more! I now live in Styvechale. More ways and spellings and saying of that name. confuses the hell out ofthe BBC!

Longfud or Long-ford?

Until a few years ago I only ever heard it pronounced Longfud, now I keep heaing it pronounced Long-ford in King Henry VIII educated accents.

Chavsmore?

What is it with Stivichall and Styvechale anyway?

Never found anything to explain the difference.

Always pronounced it Sty - chull myself as well.

The original spelling of Foleshill was Fokeshull and I'm not making that up. It's shown on old maps of the area. Had me in stitches when I first saw it (Fock us all).

I love messing with the minds of foreigners. I tell them my name is Perry, not Terry. Spelt with a "P" - as in Pterodactyl!




And it's pronounced CHARLES More!
