WHAT DOES DELPH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Delph

Coordinates: 53°34′08″N 2°01′24″W / 53.568814°N 2.023407°W / 53.568814; -2.023407 Delph (Old English (ge)delf a quarry) is a village in the Saddleworth civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it lies amongst the Pennines on the River Tame below the village of Denshaw, 4.0 miles (6.4 km) east-northeast of Oldham, and 1.8 miles (2.9 km) north-northwest of Uppermill. On Friday 7 April 1780 John Wesley visited the town and preached in a house owned by one of the trustees of the Independent Church. The centre of the village has barely changed from the 19th century, when a number of small textile mills provided employment for the local community. The etymology of Delph is derived from the Old English word 'Delf', meaning a quarry and refers to the bakestone quarries which lay at the lower end of the Castleshaw Valley just north of the village. Bakestones were quarried as tiles up to three quarters of an inch thick and used to bake oatcakes and muffins. The industry was in existence well before 1330 and only died out in 1930.
