The 'STUTE' - Photographs - Today is
Wood Street.
Earl Shilton, in the 1920's.
This is the junction of Wood Street and Station Road. Off Wood Street there are various roads and
alleys that follow the routes of ancient rights of way. It was once possible to go the whole length of Earl Shilton
without using the main street simply by using these alleys and field pathways. These tracks were known locally as the
'Backs'. For instance King's Walk, named after Lauger King, ran from Wood Street to the Brockey, the stretch of land
between Earl Shilton and Kirkby Mallory. Another such was known as 'Leycrofts' from Keats Lane to the Hollow.
