Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one is named Osprey Lane because the neighbouring houses, on the left, are built on the site of the Osprey pub which was demolished in the mid-1990s. See Image for the view towards us from midway along the alley, with links to further photos on the path.
