Building the Roads
There was no roadways, no pathways, no nothing ...
When the building of the estate began, there were very few roads on the site and those that did exist were rough tracks. Recognisable on the older Ordnance Survey maps are Green Wrythe Lane, Wrythe Lane, Bishopsford Road, Green Lane and Love Lane. The roads and streets had to be constructed using materials brought by the builder's private railway. The railway lines are clearly visible in this photo.
