Both William R and I agree with the definition of Leyland as being pasture or grassland.I had always thought it was also connected with low lying land.There were vast areas of peat and mosslands in the early days in the surrounding districts, which accounts for the names of streets as Moss St -Moss Lane -Moss Side -Farington Moss-Cuerden Moss-my own family home in Lostock Hall was named Moss Lea as a reference to the peat moss origins of the area.
