Etymology

Cox Green is from Old English cocc "cock" (crest of a hill) in the plural form coccs (the plural form represented by modern "s"). Due to corruption of the name over the years, the name is similar to the modern surname Cox. The name was recorded as Cosse in 1108, and Couuse in 1146 and Cokksgrene in 1248. 'Green' is a modern addition, referring to the village. As of January 2010, there are 23 people living in the village. There is a pub called the Oddfellows Arms.[1]

Roads & transport

Cox Green is situated to the north of the A183 road, about a mile west of its intersection with the main A19 trunk road. It had a railway station from the 1850s until 1964,[2] which unsurprisingly fell victim to the Beeching Axe.

gollark: I assume the issue here is that it's calling itself and the stack is overflowing somehow, but I don't know.
gollark: Can someone help debug this? I made this program here (https://pastebin.com/fPZwpqMe) which is meant to send term calls both to the actual term and a remote computer, but it just freezes for a few seconds then crashes when the term.redirect runs.
gollark: Try actually giving vector.new arguments?
gollark: ... maybe?
