[edit] Bleaching

You might like to incorporate the Lancashire meaning of crofting into the main page as it seems to come from the same source. A croft was a piece of land belonging to a cottage and this would be used for bleaching cloth so known as a bleachcroft so crofting in that area usually means bleaching. Similarly the land could be used in brickmaking as a brickcroft. --jmb 00:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
