Clearing stuff out Yesterday, Heath / The Heath
Lots of stuff gone in the bin, came across this but only noticed a little earlier
Is it Heath, or The Heath as this poster suggests ?
Don't think I have ever used "The Heath"

Only by people who have never known anything but what they read on the internet. Anyone who knows it also knows it is Caroline Street.

Proper Kairdiffians refer to it as it’s proper name, Caroline Street.

It was definitely the pub when I worked in Companies House :hehe:, but now if someone mentioned "The Heath" I'd automatically think of the hospital. The two stations are not called "The Heath high/low" and Wikipedia has it as Heath.

Re: Clearing stuff out Yesterday, Heath / The Heath
My parents always referred to the area as the Heath as did their friends. I lived in Heath for 20 years. Over time the "the" disappeared and became obsolete just as names such as "the Philog" which many now refer to as Whitchurch. I have a history of Heath somewhere and will dig it out sometime.

Re: Clearing stuff out Yesterday, Heath / The Heath
I was born in Crystal Avenue in “the” Heath a long time before the hospital was built. I remember my parents and friends using the phrase “the Heath” to describe where they lived. The use of “the” has dropped off which, as has been pointed out already, is probably down to the hospital being more in the forefront of people’s minds rather than the area it is situated in.
