Polly Fox's and The Jab's and The Bottoms

Many people know the name Polly Fox, it's the name of some bungalows off the High Street. Those with long memories will know that it was the name of footpath running from the High Street down to the Jab's or The Bottoms. Do you know anything about any of these names? For instance do you know where the names came from? or do you have any recollections about them? - any comment might help others remember.
