Don't I know it Mo, I don't live too far from there lol
There is a road called Manby Road close to it -it is named after George Manby who developed the "Manby Rocket" which was the fore-runner of the Breeches Bouy -supposed to have saved nearly 1000 lives while it was used, he also invented the first pressurised fire extinguisher ..
