  2. Why the Pig Lane Got Its Title

    Why the pig lane got its title.
    In olden times that was the way they used to go to load the pigs to the station. There was a lane leading down to the station along the side of the railway. Before the plat-forms were in force they used to have to lift the pigs into the waggons.
    Outside of the Church was the pig green what is now called the "Clover Field".
