"Tump". I have always thought Hetty Pegler's Tump was a reference to Hetty's frontbottom... in a feminine kinda way. Referring to her entrance and ladymound if you like.


Hahaha! Haven't heard the 'frontbottom' expression used in a while. I can find nothing to suggest this was the case. The only definition I can find is "a small rounded hill or mound; a tumulus." From the late 16th century, origin unknown.
