Furniss Avenue, Dore

Looking down Furniss Avenue from its junction with Church Lane to the south of Dore village. The road is recorded as having been officially opened in 1929 and the houses, mostly substantial semis, appear to date from the 1930s. The name probably commemorates Richard Furness, a 19th century local schoolmaster.
