I've been to Fleetwood Library this week looking at the maps and trying to locate the photo I posted on the site which has Underbank Road on the back. I looked at all the maps and can't place that layout of buildings at all. One thing I did spot is that Underbank Road on the 1912 OS map (below) turns at the lane towards Ramper Pot and continues on as Stanah Road unlike today. It changes on the 1939 map to what we know today.

Brian has also pointed out that this area could be the site of the original Saxon Village of Stanah on his forum here. That would be interesting especially as it seems to have remained virtually untouched.
I've now added the link from the website to the Act for the Enclosure of Thornton Marsh although I still haven't finished typing it all out yet. I have a feeling its going to take some time so thought I would add it on in the meantime.

ReplyDeleteHmm...Brúni Dogchaser. Not sure why. I prefer cats. Not that it matters because apparently the other Vikings would think I was weird and snobbish. I strongly suspect they'd be right.
