I'm no local but I'm sceptical about the information on pronunciation. The description in the text implies that the stresses are the same as in "finesse", but the normal rule for names like this is two equal stresses, as you would find in "sharp stick". Is the text really right? -- Pfold ( talk) 22:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC) reply

Yes it is correct, I used to live nearby, that is the way we say it. Petethewhistle ( talk) 19:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC) reply
