Track linking Breech Lane with Chequers Lane. On the left is Little Lodge (which first appears in the 1955-71 1:2,500 map, replacing an earlier pair of semi-detached cottages first shown in the 1896 edition) and the furthest building is a semi-detached pair, Mead Cottages, also first shown in the 1896 1:2,500 map. The pair in the middle, Leith Cottages, is more recent. Planning for them was approved in 2010 and according to the Officer's report on the planning application for the cottages, these replaced a single storey club building, Walton Comrades Club, built c1950 but unused from c2000 (although a building marked "club" is shown in the 1935 1:2,500 map, suggesting it could have been earlier than this).

Houses on Breech Lane, Little Lodge on the left and 2 Breech Lane in the background. The former first appears in the 1955-71 1:2,500 map, replacing an earlier pair of semi-detached cottages first shown on the 1896 edition, with the latter first appearing on the 1896 edition.

There has been a church on this site for over 700 years. The present Church is a result of major rebuilding in 1820. The Gothic style flint tower was rebuilt to its present form in 1895.

To be found in Breech Lane, just across the road from the parish church. The proportions - tall and narrow - are quite unusual in a weather-boarded cottage, and (along with the barge-boards at the gables) remind me somewhat of a railway signal-box (circa 1850, say). The cottage is extremely well-kept - not always the case with weather-boarded cottages. And while modern windows (double-glazed, I imagine) have been fitted, this has been done quite sensitively, without compromising the building's character.
