It was interesting to see Peter's comment that the area around the School Lane/Towngate/Hough Lane intersection is still known as "Woolworth's Corner".

I visited Leyland for my Dad's funeral in March 01 and rode the buses a few times. My sister lives on Kingswood Road, the site of the old North Works, so that corner is where I got off. Purely by instinct I asked for a ticket to "The Regent". The driver was about my age and didn't bat an eye, just said "Yes, sir, Woolworth's Quiksave".
