Shelsley Walsh is widely known among motorsport enthusiasts because of its association with the Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb, which has been run since 1905.

Etymology

Shelsley Walsh means "clearing on a slope" from Old English scelf "shelf (of land)" and leāh "wood, clearing". The name was recorded as Scillislege in 948. The addition of Walsh to the name is from the surname Walsh, which means "of the Welsh", from Old English walas "Welsh, foreigners". A record of the name as Shilsleywalish, undated, proves this.

gollark: I find it more helpful to actually do maths and programming.
gollark: Read some of the textbook and someone's notes, and spent a few hours revising and learning it and stuff, and got 75% on the exam.
gollark: One of my friends did roughly that because they wanted to switch from DT to Economics late in the year.
gollark: There's not very much nuance in any of it, not really anything about how economists don't actually *agree* on everything, and not any maths more complicated than division.
gollark: I also do Economics as an option (we do 7-ish (depends how you count them) required subjects and 3 options here) which seemed interesting but is kind of pointless, since basically all of the stuff they teach for that is pretty simplistic.
