The reference given is
Destination Guide to Lancashire - Towns & Villages
but I can find no mention of the subject there. Mind you that site also has a picture of the Market Hall which is labelled as the Town Hal lso I don't know how reliable it is. |
I have heard that reference before , but I believe its wrong, I used to be a bottom ender some 15 years ago, and then I moved and was refered to as a topender, and I am this side of what used to be the Load.
I still go down to the area refered to as a bottom end, but only to chase parked cars.
