Here, as the lane approaches it junction with Thornhills Beck Lane and Jay House Lane, the lane suddenly widens alongside a row of houses. The widening was possibly paid for by the builder as a condition of planning permission. The 6” map of c.1940 shows some of the houses as approximate rectangles, but not the road widening. This edition was not fully revised, however, and concentrated on showing the location of new houses for Air-raid Precaution Planning.
