    The place nearest to my town residence is the Milland. The origin of it was, the now called "Mill Land" was a large field in which a large stream ran. People decided that as there was no mill near the place, this was a suitable place to have a mill, so finally a mill was built there, and from that onward that field was called the "Mill Land" and the stream was called the "Millstream" Now the Mill is thrown down there is instead a ceamery but - still the place has its old name the "Mill-Land"
