		May 1929, South Lancashire Tramways was re-named South Lancashire Transport, and was authorised to abandon the tramway routes in favour of trolleybuses and construct extensions from the former tramway termini at Lowton St. Mary's to Lowton Lane Head, and from the Clifton boundary to Station Road, Pendlebury.
		During the war years, Lancashire United was called upon to transport increasing numbers of workmen to and from the factories and coal mines in the area, resulting in the introduction of numerous workmen's services.
		For a number of reasons (legal and accounting), the South Lancashire Transport Company acquired 55 buses in the period between 1955 and 1958, although they were all numbered in the Lancashire United fleet, carried LUT fleetnames and passed to LUT on the dissolution of the Company.

		Lancashire Heelers were recognised as pedigree dogs 3 years later, in 1981.
		It is thought that the Lancashire Heeler is descended from a 'meeting' of the Welsh Corgi and the Manchester Terrier and the stature and markings of these intelligent, energetic dogs certainly indicate that may be the case although there is no concrete evidence of this.

	Lancashire Rock - History
		Whilst talking about gear, it is also interesting to record that because pegs were so expensive at the time, we used to get most of our pegs made by the local flsmith, who simply cut strips of steel of various thicknesses and drilled holes in one end.
		When considering the early ascents that were made in the Lancashire quarries, it is important to bear in mind that for the majority of these, a ground-up approach was taken.
		In Lancashire in the Sixties, we all knew that to place pegs on some routes would have needlessly upset some climbers, whilst at the same time we appreciated that pegs were justified either for protection or aid, on other crags.
