 Swilly - AberWiki
North Prospect, previously known as Swilly, was the name given to the first council estate built in Plymouth during the 1920s, primarily to accommodate officers settling back in Britain following the devastation of the First World War.
The original Anglo-Saxon word from which Swilly is derived means “farmland.” Before the Second World War much of the locality of what is now North Prospect and the western edge of Beacon Park was known as Swilly.
At this point, the name “Swilly” and its derivatives “Swill” and “Swilli” became a derogatory term for any “economically deprived” residents of Plymouth, and efforts were made initially to apply the name Swilly only to the council estate and later to get rid of the name altogether.
