THE SLAG LANE STORY
Recently voted number two in the list of rude place / street names, here is what is beleived to be the story behind the name SLAG LANE. It is understood that the lane between St. Luke's church and the canal was just a dirt track. One Sunday, after a period of heavy rain, the Byrom family of Byrom Hall were travelling to church in their horse drawn cart when it became bogged down in the mud. This prompted the Byrom family to purchase waggon loads of slag from the nearby Bickershaw colliery and had it spread and tamped down in order to give a much better surface for their carriages. The road became known by the locals as "The Slag Lane" On the Lowton history page there is a picture of the village that was between the tip and the canal it looks like there was still a dirt surface in 1910 (Ed) Just for interest here is the location of the Lowton near Taunton, Somerset. Just a little hamlet |
