Wuchie Rook comes from the name Woodshaw Ruck (Ruck as in Slag heap) or so I've been told.

Hi Gary
When we wuz kids we used to `play` on this slag heap and it was always known as `Wutchie-rook`, spelt however you like ! What it actually means, or where it got it`s name is anyone`s guess. Perhaps some o` thowd uns know ?
Ah, the `good old days` ! ?
