Re: Place names
Was there not a 'Bleach' works at the lower end of the "Hygeiene" at one time .
Re. the Chequers , once asked on here if anyone knew about the history , my thinking is they have to be some of the oldest inhabited houses in Clayton , know that some of them have stone stairs and 'flag' floors upstairs , from the general topography (below canal level and Whalley Rd. ) I'm thinking they pre date the canal.
Maybe Katex (bit of a Clayton history buff ) can check maps of the original Dunkanhalgh estate if available and see if Chequers are shown as estate workers cottages ... just an idea
