Gilson

Gilson is a hamlet in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire, England. It is known to some residents as 'Gil'. Population details can be found under Coleshill.

Gilson was once an agricultural hamlet mid way between Water Orton and Coleshill. It dates from the Anglo-Saxon period and is first documented in 1232 AD. It is now largely a residential area due to the nearby M42 motorway and the changes in British agriculture.

Additional..... The history of Gilson Hamlet can be traced to the original Roman settlement that was in evidence on the ridge between the crest of Grimstock Hill and Chattle Hill. While no accurate date can be ascertained for the establishment of this Roman outpost, it was firmly established enough for there to be a small Necropolis built over the river Cole on the south side of Grimstock Hill. Amateur archaeological finds point to this, as does the presence of a Romano-Celtic temple on the eastern slope of the same ridge.

The area encompassing this part of Coleshill town was a nexus point between the territories of three Celtic tribes: the Cornovii - the Dobunni and the Coritani and was used as a place where trade could take place between these tribes.

Lubin

Lubin, [ˈlubʲin] (German: Lüben) is a town in Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland. From 1975–1998 it belonged to the former Legnica Voivodeship. Lubin is the administrative seat of Lubin County, and also of the rural district called Gmina Lubin, although it is not part of the territory of the latter, as the town forms a separate urban gmina. As of the 2009 census, the town had a total population of 74,552.

Geography

Lubin is situated on the Zimnica river in the Lower Silesian historical region, about 71 kilometres (44 miles) northwest of Wrocław and 20 km (12 miles) north of Legnica.

The town is one of the major industrial locations in Lower Silesia, with the headquarters of the third-largest Polish corporation, the KGHM Polska Miedź mining company.

History

The area of Lubin lies midway between the main settlements of two West Slavic Ślężanie tribes, the Dziadoszanie and the Trzebowianie, whose lands were both subdued by King Mieszko I of Poland about 990. It is unclear which of the two tribes, if either, founded the town. One legend states that the town derives its name from Luba, a young man credited with slaying a giant bear that had been terrifying the inhabitants. A papal bull dated to circa 1155 mentions Lubin as one of 13 Silesian castellanies.
