Newer section of Marlborough Avenue, Spring View
In the 1970s a massive clearance of terraced housing took place along the length of Warrington Road, and of some terraced streets at Lower Ince. The Council bought a newly-built private housing development to house many of the displaced families. People were moved in groups of neighbours from their old streets.

Hathaway Walk, Spring View
The rest of the roads on this estate were named after Stately Homes - but presumably this was named after Ann Hathaway's Cottage.

Chatsworth Avenue, Spring View
Amazingly, and with a total lack of originality, the developers of the new estate "Holme Park", which is about 200 yards from here, were allowed to use Chatsworth as the name for two roads on the new development. I see confusion ahead.

Harrow Place, Spring View
Part of a 1930s Council Estate built by Ince Urban District Council. Most of the houses were allocated to railwaymen who worked at Springs Branch sheds, on the nearby London-Glasgow line. Although local coal miners were also crying out for houses they lost out to the railwaymen who were less likely to be put on short-time working, or have their pay reduced by their employers.
