Mytholmroyd

The name of the West Yorkshire Pennine mill-town Mytholmroyd, between Halifax and Hebden Bridge, is pronounced with a primary stress on the first syllable, which has the sound of the possessive personal pronoun 'my', (NOT the sound of 'myth'), and the soft 'voiced' '-th-' of 'the', 'this' and 'that'. There is a secondary stress on the third syllable. The second syllable, being unstressed, has the indeterminate shwa vowel. The whole is pronounced 'MY-them-rOYd', IPA: /ˈmaɪ ðəm ˌrɔɪd/.

The late Poet Laureate Ted Hughes was born in Mytholmroyd.
