Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Foxes Lane, Oakdale Alongside the B4251 is small, detached section of Oakdale Business Park, most of which is about a kilometre further along the road. Businesses located here include confectionery company Bon Bon Buddies (BBB).
Formerly the site of a mine, the Lane was previously named Old Coal Avenue. The change of name occurred in 2008 at the request of Bon Bon Buddies who have expanded their business considerably and have gone from 11 employees to almost 80, hence the relocation to the new premises, which officially opened in 2008. The new name Foxes Lane has an important historical and local connection. It reflects a unique family association with Oakdale Colliery, in that both father (Jack Fox) and his son David were colliery managers at the same mine. Jack Fox was Oakdale colliery manager for many years during the 1950s and 1960s. His son was colliery manager there in the 1980s, up to the closure of the mine. |
