Alleytroyds

During my research for another recent thread Ibnoticed that on old maps the area around the bottom of Market Street, Church, is marked as Alleytroyds.

Today there is a modern housing estate in this location and I am pleased to see that the old name has been retained.

Does anyone know the derivation of the name or how far it dates back? Googling the name just brings up lists of houses for sale.

Would the royds part of the name have the same meanig as the Royds in the Woodnook area of Accy?
