Fletcher Crescent, Rastrick
This housing estate was built in the mid-20C on a field called 'Fletcher Lands'. A very generous area was left in the middle so that many of the houses face a grassy 'island' with trees.

Houses, Garlick Street, Rastrick

Houses above a retaining wall, Slade Lane. Rastrick
Presumably the road was widened when the housing estate was built. There is an arched entrance between the parked cars, leading to steps up to the houses.

Garlick Street approaching Slade Lane, Rastrick
Modern OS maps suggest that there is a back lane behind the houses along the west side of Slade Lane, but this does not exist. The old-looking wall looks like an old field wall, but the field (Long Croft) boundary was alongside the stone-built house on the left, so the wall must have been built in the mid-20C when the road was made. There is a plot of land behind the wall and fence that nowadays would have had a house built on it, but at the time it was presumably considered to be too small.

Greenhead Lane, Rastrick
This is the Slade lane end of the lane, which is not on the 1824 township map, but is shown running between fields on the 1850 OS map. However it was not extended to New Hey Road until the area was developed with terrace houses.

Two double-fronted houses in Slade Lane, Rastrick
As often around here, the houses are at a higher level than the road, and there were coal houses or cellars behind the retaining wall next to the road. The hatches into which the sacks of coal were emptied are generally blocked now and the iron cover removed, but here one cover survives.
