I think you are spot on, Helen. I can think of at least four black pads and there are probably several more. The one near The Slough was also called The Burning Path because of the sulphurous smoke rising from smouldering slag. Many of the black pads had blue enamel signs warning cyclists to dismount at the risk of a forty shillings fine.

Yes, I can imagine something like the Chain Gardens, that could easily have been called a black pad.

I see they have demolished St Nicholas Church today. Very sad. I have not been much of a church goer in later life but as a young girl I used to go there as I liked rhe singing and have attended a few weddings there.
