Hi
The lane running alongside Rainbow Forge School was actually called Well Lane. It became known as Pig Lane by the kids because of the farmer's pigs in the Orchard on the opposite side from the school field.
The lane originally provided access to the only well in the village which did not run dry in summer. It continued all the way down, past Hackenthorpe wood, (which disappeared when the houses were built) to Greggs house. this house was originally part of the Rainbow Forge (where the school took it's name from) which was one of four water powered forges on the Shire Brook (Netherwheel, Carr Forge, Rainbow Forge and Cliff Wheel) between Normanton Springs and the Rother.
