Cockshutt (Cockshot) Lane
Cockshutt lane originally ran from Duke Street to Balls Lane however
with the development of a new estate in the 1960's it was extended East to meet Dark
Lane. The original section from the junction with Cherrybrook Drive to
Balls Lane, although slightly diverted, remains as a footpath. With the
construction of the new houses the road was renamed Cockshott Lane
although the present street name plates are Chockshutt at its junction with Duke
Street an Cockshot at its junction with Dark lane.
