Thanks both. Looking at it again this morning in better light I came to the same general idea. The first bit looks more like 'Name of'.
I wish that I could get the last bit but I have enough to work on. Now to find Mr. Waters.

The last word looks like Pit - compare it with 'Pits' on the top line - so it reads '...Waters Pit'.
