Leyland is a town in the South Ribble district, in the county of Lancashire, England. Leyland is approximately six miles south of the city of Preston. Throughout the 20th and 21st century, the community has seen a large growth in industry, population and farming, due to the establishment of Leyland Motors, housing developments and the surrounding usable arable land.
English Leyland was an area of fields, with Roman roads passing through, from ancient Wigan to Walton-le-Dale. It was left undisturbed for many centuries until rediscovered shortly after the Battle of Hastings (1066). Leyland is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1085). In 1066 King Edward the Confessor presided over the whole of Leyland. The manor was divided into three large ploughlands, which were controlled by local noblemen. In the 12th century, it came under the barony of Penwortham.
The area of Worden, which is now Worden Park, was one of nine oxgangs of land granted to the Knights Hospitaller, by Roger de Lacy, in Lancashire, but the land was not assigned to any individual and a local man, who was a very close friend of de Lacy, Hugh Bussel, was assigned holder of the land in 1212.
The town is famous primarily for the bus and truck manufacturer Leyland Motors, which between the 1950s and 1970s expanded and grew to own several British motor manufacturers, including BMC, Standard-Triumph and Rover, culminating in the massive British Leyland company. The truck business still operates today as Leyland Trucks, and is owned by Paccar. Leyland is also home to one of the UK's leading maintenance and utility companies, Enterprise Plc on Centurion Way. The Leyprint company is situated on Leyland Lane, a company which produces menus and other printed items.
Leyland railway station is on the West Coast Main Line and loads of trains pass by every Miunite the very placement of which moved the civic centre of the town briefly, including Leyland Police Station.
There is a marker adjacent to the old Leyland Motors Spurrier works declares the halfway point on the railway journey between Glasgow and London, some 198 miles in either direction. John Fishwick & Son served the town's public transport needs. They also connected the town to Chorley and Preston.
Leyland is made up by six different areas, the town centre itself counts as the main retail side, with the railway station, library and shops nearby. The other areas include Broadfield, Moss Side, Worden Park, Turpin Green and the Wade Hall estate. The Leyland Band have also recently moved to the town, after several years in various other rehearsal locations, and now have a permanent home in Farington Business Park.

The follies of Worden Park in Leyland, Lancashire
Mr H and the girls take a relaxing stroll around Worden Park in Leyland, Lancashire to visit the Georgian follies of the old Ice House built in the park grounds to store ice, a picturesque decorative arch built to resemble a ruin spanning Shaw Brook and a rock allegedly brought from the Helvellyn mountain range in the Lake District by a glacier during the last ice age.

Leyland Test Track Drone over Abandoned Circuit - Urbex Explore of Abandoned Place - Drone Video
Leyland Test Track Drone over Abandoned Circuit. Urbex Explore of Abandoned Place by Drone
The Leyland Test Track was mainly used to test trucks and busses by the Leyland Company. The test circuit was built in the late 1970s and opened in 1980.
The test track contained an oval for high speed testing, with a long straight for brake testing. It also had an infield circuit with a skid pan and several rumble strips.
The Leyland Test Track closed in 2005 and since then it's abandoned. Officially the track is not accessible, but there are several not official entrances. In 2017 a plan was given green light to demolish the old test track and build 960 new houses on the site.
I explored the track, and made this drone flight in the summer of 2018. It was exact a year after the plans for new houses were presented, so I think I was just in time. Besides this drone flight, I also explored the abandoned test circuit on foot.

GHOST STORIES:Worden Hall.Leyland.Preston.Lancashire.UK
Worden Hall was an 18th Centuary Building situated close to the heart of Leyland, Lancashire. One home to the Farrington Family & now subject to tales of Ghostly going's on. In 2006 & 2007 I conducted a Paranormal Investigation here with the 'WE INVESTIGATE' Paranormal Team. I can certainly say I have also witnessed some of these Ghostly encounters & was amazed with what we all witnessed during our Fascinating Investigation.

Worden Park Miniature railway 2/5/10
A trip to the miniature railway at Worden Park at Leyland, near Preston, Lancashire on 2 May 2010, with a good selection to offer.
There are two miniature railways here,owned by the Leyland Society of Model Engineers:
A ground level 7¼ inch gauge line, which runs along a double-track section of line leading to a balloon loop,
And a dual gauge 3½ and 5 inch gauge raised track, which runs past the society's workshops.
We see on the 7¼ inch gauge line we see a few locos in action,
Narrow-gauge outline 0-6-0WT+T Nefyn
American Outline 0-8-0 Babs
A Class 08 Outline Diesel
A grey narrow-gauge outline loco called Sidewinder,
& Freelance diesel loco The Sapper
On the raised track we see:
A 3½ inch gauge scale-model of a Great Northern C1 Atlantic 4-4-2, and a 5-inch gauge diesel Worden Ranger, painted in mock EWS livery and based on the Ffesiniog Railway's rebuilt Funkey diesel Vale of Ffestiniog.
We also take a run along these two layouts...
Apologies for the dodgy camerawork during this video, as this was filmed at age 13.
