Leyland Fair would have been held on higher ground where Tesco's now is, which was land left in perpetuity for recreation purposes to the people of Leyland- had the bequest document not been 'lost' when the area was needed for development (long before Tesco's)... this was told to me by the Fair Folk when I met them in the Eagle many moons ago.
Hmmm, this is not an uncommon occurence then. Our local maternity hospital is in the process of being demolished and a housing estate will replace it. The land was given to the local Council, but covenanted so it could only be used for health care purposes. This has been got around by promising a new doctors surgery will be built on the site. But the covenant did not say health care and a housing estate, it said health care. [
