  1. 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".
