Inchfield Road becomes Foul Clough Road and soon a lane on the right leads to Pastureside - location no. 5 on the map of this walk.

| The path leading to Pastureside |
Pastureside was associated with the Haigh family for centuries. The first known Haigh in Walsden was Reuben who acquired the lease some time prior to 1709. He died in 1750 and bequeathed the lease to his son John Haigh of Pastureside. In turn the lease passed to John's son John Haigh the Younger.
One of John the Younger's eight children was Sally, and Sally married Thomas Hiley (Hiley i' th' Vicarage) in 1801.
Already mentioned in this Blog is a story told by John Travis about Thomas and Sally and Sally's father, although he refers to Thomas as John in the story.
