Water-Ma-Trout

释义

Water-Ma-Trout is a road and an industrial estate on the northern edge of Helston in west Cornwall, England.

Theories about its name are:

That its name started as Cornish dialect English for "wet my throat", here used as a name for a dry field.^[1]
Earlier: that this name is a corruption of "waterman route", due to it being near the water supply towards one of the sources of the River Cober.
That the name derives from a corruption of Welter-ma (from "wheal" and "man") and "Trout", the name of the miner.^[2]

Industry

A range of industries are based around the estate, such as the scuba gear factory A.P.Diving and Helston Gunsmiths.
