Wasn't St. Osyth in Essex pronounced "Toosey"? I am fairly sure it
was up to about 40 years ago, because I, separately, met a couple of
people from the place or near the place who told me this. I can see
it does make a kind of sense in a dialect sort of way.
It's perhaps fortunate that neither Trottiscliffe (Kent) nor Happisburgh
(Norfolk) acquired railway stations. (pronunciations are trose-lee and
hayes-burra).
