Track linking Breech Lane with Chequers Lane. On the left is Little Lodge (which first appears in the 1955-71 1:2,500 map, replacing an earlier pair of semi-detached cottages first shown in the 1896 edition) and the furthest building is a semi-detached pair, Mead Cottages, also first shown in the 1896 1:2,500 map. The pair in the middle, Leith Cottages, is more recent. Planning for them was approved in 2010 and according to the Officer's report on the planning application for the cottages, these replaced a single storey club building, Walton Comrades Club, built c1950 but unused from c2000 (although a building marked "club" is shown in the 1935 1:2,500 map, suggesting it could have been earlier than this).
