On an old map I have of Clayton-le-moors, the area around the Hare &Hounds etc., was known as "Henfield". And the pub pictured was known as the "Land of Mischief". Does anybody know why (apart from humour) it was changed to "Load of Mischief".
I worked at Allspeeds (Atlas Street) in the mid to late 60's and often went in 'tut "Load" for pint, especially Friday dinner times.
That's when Thwaites was for Mates, Duttons was for Gluttons, and if you could supp Lions...you could tame 'em!
