Changing names, changing surroundings
Meadow Lane is now a track beside the cemetery that turns south and stops shortly thereafter. However, in the past it was Mill Lane, running up towards the river and the old King's Mead mill, but was cut it two when the G.W.R. railway carved its way across the countryside in the early 1900s. The cemetery was created about the same time, and the present Mill Lane is the other side of the tracks.
