Bleak Hills Lane seen from the point where Sheepbridge Lane and High Oakham Hill become one. Locals, who were younger in the 1940s, describe knowing Bleak Hills Lane as a cinder track that was also known as Harvey's Lane. It leads past Bleak Hill Dam (a former mill pond, now a private fishing location) as far as the site of a former cottage called Beeton's Cottage that is hosts a large house called Bleak Hills House. A 'footpath only' continues beyond this replacement house to Hamilton Way on the edge of the Bleak Hills Industrial Zone.
