A mixed development of Local Authority and private housing on the south side of Barton. I wondered at the origin of the name, possibly a corruption of London, or maybe a variation of the word Lonnen for a lane, although this is not normally associated with the East Midlands. Older OS maps do in fact show the area as Little London.
