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?

Royds Street is named after a family so don't think it's connected to Alleytroyds. Will have a look at my 1848 map when I get home but I'm pretty sure it was called that back then.
