HOW did Bobbies Lane at Eccleston come by its name?
By pure coincidence, several readers from various parts of town have fired this query at me.
Was the lane perhaps named after a person whose Christian name was Bobbie; or did it once form part of a policeman's beat?
I'D appreciate some info on the subject. So if you have a theory, please drop me a line at the Star.
