The Stute

Lower Hinckley Road in 1920.
This area was once all allotments by the side of the road, all the way to Belle Vue Road. The smart semi-detached villas however encroached onto the land. In the distance can be seen the junction of Heath Lane and Wood Street - known as Bank End. Heath Lane was once open land and was used for steeplechasing in the 17th century. A trackway known as Dark Lane connected Heath Lane to the Brockey.
