Savile Road Corner
Savile Road Corner, 1930.
The junction of Mickletown Road, Savile Road and Church Lane. Private houses
on the right hand side of Savile Road (south side) are being built. There
are no houses towards the top of Savile Road - still cornfields. The Council
built houses nearer the school and completed Savile Road between 1924 and
1927. The Council built properties 1927, Summerhill road - 1931, and private
houses were built 1930 - 1932. Woodhall houses were built 1960 and private
houses on the north side around the mid-1950s. The route of Savile Road followed
that of a footpath which linked Pinfold Lane and Church Lane, which passed
through a cornfield. The brick wall is now boundary of houses. The lady sitting
on the wall is Mrs Heath of Woodrow.
Savile Road Corner 1983
View from same location as above. Now a mature area, a tree-lined road with
houses each side. The small brick wall is still there, now the boundary wall
of a pair of semi-detached houses built at this corner.
