Looking south-east towards Colton Hills and Penn Common. This was labelled as Wakeley Lane on late Victorian maps, and locally was also commonly called Workhouse Lane. The housing on the right is on land worked as a garden from the workhouse, which old tithe maps show was about 85 metres ahead, on the right, and is now called Ivy Terrace.
