Path through the Burgies (Burgy Bank)
The Burgies (or Burgy Bank) is a set of two slag heaps on the site of the old Rushy Park coal mine. They were created by the dumping of toxic chemical waste from the manufacture of glass by the town’s Pilkington Company. Technically, the land is private property belonging to Pilkington but the public has access. Although it is a chemical dumping ground, the soil placed on the top has allowed the area to be covered in woodland and grass. This environment has provided a pleasant woodland area for the local people and is a favourite dog walking area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burgies (Wikipedia for more detail)
