Etymology
Goose Hall (6″). “Goose-hall, or, as it is in the maps, Goose-house …was so named from a practice which, since the introduction of railways, has entirely ceased. For previously large numbers of geese were wont to be driven periodically along the highway from the northern part of the Isle of Ely to London, and here, next after Ely, they rested during the night” (1869 Milton 26).
