This old street nameplate looks authentically old enough. The lane is an old, narrow one and meets Mantle Street. However, in the late twentieth century the town planners made a big change: they opened up another road close to the west which met with the original Champford Lane to the south, forming a short loop. They chose to close off the original lane to form a cul-de-sac, named Champford Mews - not Champford Lane.
