 In the late 1700's, according
to local folklore, a tinker was passing through Red Rock,
with a wagon laden with pots and pans. To his utter
dismay, the wagon overturned on the rough road. His cry
for help was heard by the local residents, who rushed out
to rectify the overturned cart. When the tinker regained
his composure, he alleged that some of his inventory was
missing, and declared that it had been pilfered by those
who had rushed to "help" him. In revenge, the
disgruntled tinker wandered about the area, referring to
Red Rock as "Pilfershire," much to the delight
of the residents of neighboring villages, who were happy
to enjoy a good joke at the expense of their
much-chagrinned Red Rock neighbors. Today, of course, the
local residents are very respectable, and that
"p" word is almost forgotten, but please don't
mention it to the lifetime residents, because some of
them are still sensitive!
You will find us just past the "Red Rock"
historical marker. Leave your pots and pans at home.
