The only clue I can find is in Andrea Davies's book 'Memories of Clayton-le-Moors and Altham'. She states the names were changed, to what they are now, at the turn of the 20th century.
She also talks about the old iron bridge crossing the canal. I picture an iron bridge of iron structure ...
Was it rebuilt to what it is now or just my lack of knowledge of bridge engineering ?
