General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Here are some interesting old Ordinance Survey photos of Ince Green Lane taken in the 1950's The photos display at the bottom of the page underneath the map. The starting photo is on the railway/canal bridge looking south, with the next one showing the entrance to The Grove.

The following link takes you to the 1939 Survey record for Canal Street. If you look carefully, you can see that the six houses are numbered evenly between 2 and 12 there are no odd numbered houses. If you click the previous page arrow on the left of the image, you can see records for The Grove.

The following links show the old canal branch still partially filled with water behind the houses on The Grove. I walked through the entrance gates to Foster's Playing Fields and then pushed through the bushes/undergrowth on the right hand side of the path to take the photos.
