Called Gasworks Road because the town’s second Gasworks was situated down where the buildings can be seen. These buildings for many years were the site of Hugh Martin’s Engineering Works.The Gasworks Corner, as older residents referred to it, is at the Whiteshaw Roundabout. Whiteshaw Farm was here and the local pronunciation is The Weetshi.
