Re: Alleytroyds

On my shelves somewhere I have a booklet/essay written about Alleytroyds by a Miss Doris Pickup. There will be one in the library. It gives an explanation for the name. Retlaw will be able to tell us when the name is first recorded. I will ask the people at the Lancashire Place-Name Survey. Definitely nowt to do with the Royds family, who came to Accrington from Rochdale in the first place just to buy land.
