A former farmhouse situated opposite Grovelands Road. This is a view of Kiln Lane looking towards where Kiln Lane joins the A4142, i.e. the Eastern By-Pass (2 minutes walk to the right). The parked car on the farmhouse side of the road marks the junction of Lewis Close, where C.S. Lewis' former home, The Kilns, is situated. Lewis' house was built in 1922 - by someone else - and therefore this property presumably pre-dates The Kilns? In the 1920-30s this area was entirely rural save for one or two isolated properties and the brick and tile works. Three of the latter were located off what is now known as Kiln Lane and they remained in operation until the early C20th.
