[edit] WRONG
- The railway leased the Vulcan Foundry from Messrs. Jones and Potts. The foundry was so named because of its proximity to the viaduct Stephenson built so that the Liverpool and Manchester Railway could cross the Sankey valley.
It was NOT the Vulcan foundry. That is close to the main line from London to Glasgow. There used to be ANOTHER foundry on what is now the Sankey Industrial Estate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.80.58 (talk) 01:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
"The foundry was so named because of its proximity to the viaduct Stephenson built....." This is a little unclear. Could the author clarify wht it was so named? There is some good information here. Thank you. Jape1977 (talk) 00:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
