Wyle Cop

Wyle Cop - the name of this street is interesting, it stems from the town's early history. 'Wyle' comes from an old Welsh word meaning the way or the road; 'cop' is a Saxon word meaning the top or the head; hence Wyle Cop (the 'road to the top') combines the Welsh and Saxon languages of the early inhabitants of the town.
