History
Lingdale was built in the 1870s as a village for the ironstone mine workers and was next to an ironstone mine. The mine was served by a railway which existed to carry iron-ore for the Lingdale mine, until its closure in 1964. The spoil from the mine was transported across Stanghow Road via a bridge, this massive spoil heap, referred to as the 'Shale Heap' has since been cleared and turned into Lingdale Wildlife Meadow.
Although originally a village exclusively for mine workers, Lingdale slowly developed to be a village for all to make their home in. After the closure of the mines, in 1962, all the mine workers' houses became vacant and non-miners were able to live in them. Today, 1980s social housing has mostly replaced the mine workers' houses. Many of Lingdale's older Victorian houses, not associated with mine workers, still stand however, as does the Lingdale United Reformed Church, a Victorian chapel-like building, St Chad's Church, and the former Primitive Methodist Church having since become a house. This is excepting the Brunswick Methodist Chapel on Scarth Street, which has been demolished.
The village was home to two pubs, the Lingdale Tavern which survives today, and the now demolished Victoria Hotel, both on the High Street.
