Williamson Road, Lancaster
Houses for Williamson's factory workers. James Williamson made a fortune from making linoleum. Even these terrace houses have wide chimneys with lots of pots. It seems to be a Lancaster speciality.

The Henry Gregson Institute Moor Lane Lancaster
Henry Gregson died on 2 Sep. 1885 aged 85. His Ghost reputedly still haunts the rooms of his memorial building, the Gregson Centre, Lancaster, which was built with funds raised by Christ Church Vicarage, designed by Austin & Paley, and was opened in 1890. The church sold it in 1983 to the Freehold Community Association Charity. Henry had purchased the land for the building of Christ Church, and laid the foundation stone in 1855.

OS Bench Mark
OS cut bench mark from the 19th century levelling, on the corner of a house on Mill Street. Somewhat weathered. 86.2 feet above old datum. Strangely, this bench mark appears on the 1890, 1931 and 1938 editions of the 25-inch maps, but not the 1910 edition.
