A perfect Summer's day, so serene -I can almost hear the humming of the bumble bees, then there's the blasted midges at tea time, biting bare legs and arms.......oh!...the joys of Summer in such lovely surroundings and on the doorstep.

I always thought it was spelled as Sennicar Lane, could be wrong - great photo.

You are correct Cyril, the correct spelling is Sennicar. It is a contraction of the words "seven acre".

You learn something on this site - even if it's how the 'owd codgers' pronounced ' Senecar Lane'. It's quite obvious really.

It's not often you hear the old dialect these days.....I miss hearing it!
