An unusual name, and an older one than most of the surroundings. This was a lane in the nineteenth century that went to Eckweek Cottages and then Eckweek House - both are now lost to the modern housing. At that time Eckweek Road was merely a footpath, and the area was known as Ashgrove (perhaps after a cottage of that name, which has also gone).
