Walton-le-Dale in Lancashire was also the scene of a battle in the English Civil War.

 

[John Griffiths]

I never knew that about Surbiton though I grew up not so far away... anyway...

Temperance pioneer Joseph Livesey (1794-1884) was born in Walton-le-Dale and after a busy and very influential life died in the Avenham district of Preston.

Meerbrook has a pub called The Lazy Trout. This is probably unique as a pub name, but the coincidentally similarly-named Marshbrook in Shropshire has a transport cafe also called The Lazy Trout.*

*Edit: or rather had. It has apparently closed permanently, its people now running The Trout Cafe in nearby Church Stretton.
