The Way

Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 15 Jun 2013

This road appears on the 1871 1:2500 map as part of Oaks Road, linking Croydon Road and Doods Road. The Oaks was a large house on the northern section of the road, with the wall visible here (not the house behind, which was much more recent) looking to be original. By the 1896 map, the two sections of the road had been separated, as now, with this southern section renamed The Way. By 1914 the eastern side (left in this photo) had been developed, with the western side (on the right, including the house seen here) being developed by the early 1960s.
