Eckweek Lane
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).

Eckweek Lane, Peasedown St John
Permission exists for the erection of a bungalow on this site, just beyond the rather charmingly decaying little building on the right. At the end of the road is a T junction with the Fosse Way, here named Ashgrove.

2008 : The original Peasedown
This is the way things were before the dead hand of the planners took over.
Peasedown St. John was in existence for at least a thousand years without them, and existed very well.http://www.radstock4u.com/villagepages/peasedown/

End of Eckweek Lane, Peasedown St John
The motorable lane may end along with the houses, but the line of it continues along bridleway BA 19/30 - alas for only 120 metres (see
Image]).

Junction, Peasedown St John
A grass circle that might pass muster as a triangle at the junction of Eckweek Lane with White Ox Mead Lane. The original course of both roads has been truncated by new road development.
