Parkland and nature reserve near Monkton Village In the 1960/70s this area was known as "The Slaggy". Slag had been dumped here from the iron works and demolished buildings. There was a "crusher" that pulverised rocks and stone and was used as hard core. Now it's a very pleasant parkland area and looks much better than the old "Slaggy"
