This footpath is known as 'Borden Carriage'. The house at the eastern end of the first leg of the footpath is now called "Boarden Carriage Cottage".
In fact "Board and Carriage", the correct way of explaining the passageway, refers to the construction of the wooden trough which takes water the mill stream above Mill
Cottage, under Mill Cottage itself, under Bridge Street, and then on underground into the River Dun. The present-day roadway called "The Forge" crossed this waterway by means of a brick bridge.
On top of the main part of the waterway is built the footpath.
Robert James considers the name can thus be explained as "Board" - referring to the wooden trough carrying the water, and "Carriage" referring to the
footpath.
