Old Property and Road Names

Throughout the census records, property names , and road names appear that are not familiar today. Usually it is fairly straightforward to identify their modern equivalents but some are more guesswork
1841
  • There are four properties described as Clatterbridge and appear to be around the bottom of Church Lane where Slade cottage is today
  • Six properties were listed as 'near Dicken Bridge' which is the narrow bridge on Burleyhurst Lane near Benkeyhurst Farm junction
  • Marvel Hall used to sit near kell House on Four Lane Ends
  • Slack House was near Own House on Wood Lane
  • Rodgers House was by Baguley Green and may have been that farm
  • Highfield House and Highfield Lane. This is now known as Hobcroft Lane and only Holly House sat along it.
1851
  • Back Lane (probably Breach House Lane)
  • Mazy Green (between Owen House and Baguley Green on what is now known as Small Lane)
  • Highfield Lane (see above)
  • Cutts Houses - five properties near Newton Hall
  • Hough Lane - somewhere around Burleyhurst Lane and Barnes Green
  • Brick Kiln House and Burnt Field House - top of Newton Hall Lane?
1861
  • Pinfold House on Church Lane (a Pinfold was where stray animals were tethered for collection)
  • Bunkers Hill - seven properties probably Tipping Brow
  • Mount Pleasant - three properties, perhaps Slade Brow Cottages on Church Lane (the main road 'cutting' as it approaches the Church Lane junction would have been known as a 'slade'
1871
  • The first mention of Hall Bank
  • Hayfield Lane
1881
  • Barracks Yard - probably just off Newton Hall Lane (Bagshaws) where soldiers might have been billeted
