I have just seen this written as trouble at t' mill. The internet seems to be mainly populated by people who don't speak fluent Yorkshire.
Surely your average Yorkshire person would pronounce it trouble at' mill. Adding the extra t just feels ugly when you say it.
Thoughts welcome.

Correct.
If the trouble was inside the mill though it would be 'Trouble in t' mill.
Thinking about it, it's worth pointing out that the In t' would be said as one word. Int.

I would definitely be pronounced "trouble int mill" and "trouble at mill".
The fact you write it as trouble in t' mill rather than trouble int' mill makes me wonder though.

I would tend to agree that 'Int' and trouble at'mill are the best ways to translate it.
That being said, I'm used to the other versions, particularly from growing up reading "Tommy Tyke Sez" columns in the Barnsley FC programmes.

We aren't disagreeing on pronounciation, it is how it should be written that I am struggling with. |
