The history of the town’s name is itself a very early example of a “viral” stunt: It was created in the 1860s to give the town’s railway station the longest name of any rail stop in Britain. But fake or not, at 58 characters and 51 letters (“ch” and “ll” are digraphs – two characters used to make one phoneme – and are treated as one letter in Welsh), the name is the longest town name recognized in the U.K. and translates to “Church of St. Mary in the hollow of the white hazel trees, near the fierce whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio, by a red cave.”
