Willie Sled’s Dog

‘The boggle infesting Brigham Lane end, where four roads meet, is a white dog known as Willie Sled’s dog. Willie Sled used to attend to those who came to the Brigham sand-pit ; and as nearly every pit in the Riding has its goblin, this one is named after him.’ — ‘Folk-Lore of East Yorkshire’ by John Nicholson (1890).
