Recently, in discussing Street Names, Crawshaw St and the blacksmith/farrier Myerscough turned up. I have just learned of a websiste which logs all Myerscoughs, so if you have Myesrcough family, have a looksee at:
www.stevensheila.co.uk/myerscough The site is based at Chorley

Any ideas about Banastre St in Clayton? Just googled it and the only ref appears to be some nasty bloodthirsty murdering type from Liverpool.

Jack Broderick who did a lot of work on the local parish registers, I think recorded it as an early spelling of Bannister.
I'll check next time I'm in the Library.

What’s Lodge Street named after, has to be a lodge I assume but I don’t see any. The obvious spot for an lodge would be the old Volvo garage on Sydney Street. Is that the case, did there used to be a lodge there ?

Yep there was a lodge there BB

Dunno why, but I assumed that it was too close to the town centre to be a lodge. Was there any mills in the area...any idea when or why the lodge was drained ??

all i can remember BB is when i was a kid there was a stonewall from bottom of lodge street along sydney st n up water st about 8 ft high n over it was just grass n uneven land, used to play there as a sprog, thats were i assume the lodge was, cos back in the day, they were all walled off like that.

so it was drained before mid 50s defo.

Would the building where Karrimor operated from before they moved have been a mill at one time?? It just has the appearance of a mill

It was originally Walmsley's Leather Works.
