Did a really fun radio interview this week with BBC Radio Shropshire, the county where I was born & grew up, and they really leaned into the “Oswestry-born man discovers dinosaurs” angle 😁.

Can confirm that Oswestry is still routinely known as Croesoswallt in Welsh, and there are actually quite a few Welsh speakers there.

The English place-name Oswestry is Croesoswallt in Welsh which means "Oswald's Cross" [croes+oswallt]. Croes isn't related to Gaelic craobh as far as I know.

Shropshire doesn’t fare very well in that map! To my ears there are noticeable differences between Telford, Market Drayton, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Ludlow, for instance, so “West Midlands” doesn’t cover it.
