I was born in 1952 in Adelaide Street and I can remember cattle being moved regularly from the farm on Sandy Lane where Ascot Way is now to the slaughterhouse on Hyndburn Road. This was done by men and dogs, and many a time we used to meet a pair of horns in our lobby coming in as we were going out, we could leave the front door open in those days and the only unwanted visitors were cattle, maybe your ancestor was one of those men.
