It's called Conker Lane now, presumably as there are horse chestnut trees along the sides. However, before the development of Dorridge as a dormitory/commuter town for Birmingham, this was mapped in the 1920s as Manor Road, and led NW from the (relatively small) village of Dorridge up to the Manor Farm. The line of the road is preserved through the housing estates, but this part of it is a footpath nowadays.
