St Legers, yeah must be off Plantation Street, cos there was a pub called the St Leger -one of my rellies had it for a short period.

There was a famous family called BROUGTON who had a cloggers shop in Warner St, so am assuming thats where Broughtons yard got its name from. When that property (think middle property of middle block on side nearest to Oak Street) was being altered, someone had the sense to save all the cloggers tools etc. and they can now be seen in the museum at Clitheroe Castle.
