Plodder Lane
Plodder Lane (B6199) is a notable road in the district of Bolton in Greater Manchester. It runs from the hamlet of Dixon Green to an area of called "Four Lanes End". Its name probably derives from the manner of walking up the road in olden days: with a gradual incline of about 34 meters over 4 kilometers weary foot travelers would plod their way along its route. The road begins at the west end of Glynne Street at the junction of Mossfield Road. This area is called Dixon Green and is an old hamlet between Farnworth and the area known as Highfield. The pub at the corner of Mossfield Road and Plodder Lane used to be called The Canary, after the caged birds which used to be used in the local mines which were dotted around the area. One of the major coal seams in the area was called the Plodder.
