Taylors Lane & Arley Street, Spring View
Where there is open space, and the newer homes on the right, there once stood terraced housing. Subsidence from a major fault disturbed by coal mining caused their demolition.

Arley Street, Spring View
The longest length of cobbled street in the Parish. The new houses here replace terraces knocked down after suffering from subsidence caused by a fault disturbed by mining the Arley seam, among others, beneath the ground here.

Do not adjust your set
The house really does lean over like that. Most of the older properties on Taylors Lane, including a Welsh Chapel, were pulled decades ago, largely through subsidence as a major fault beneath them was disturbed by coal workings. Only this house still stands, at the end of Elizabethan Drive.
