Talk: Ashley, Staffordshire

Can this paragraph be clarified?

[edit]

The opening paragraph to the section History, two of whose sentences I amalgamated, still does not make sense: it reads as follows:

The name means "land once cultivated and left fallow(Ley) in the near ash trees" Ashley Dale and Jugbank. Mainly sandstone cottages now mixed in with modern housing. From medieval times men have indiscriminately hacked clearings in the forests, then linked them with tracks and lanes following no specific pattern.

I wonder if there is a phrase missing from between the words trees" and Ashley that has perhaps been accidentally deleted in a past edit. Also would it make better chronological sense to move the sentence about housing further on in the paragraph or section?Cloptonson (talk) 19:16, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
