Here Leaf Lane seems to be a car park, perhaps for contractor's staff working on the new bridge over the A444. The woodland setting could be a remnant of the Whitley Abbey estate. Leaf Lane (Howes Lane on old maps) is jolly odd. It sweeps along to the west of the A444, crosses it at Whitley Bridge, then takes a short haphazard course to a hotel and a sports centre. Was the council economising on road names?
