 neighbourhood  Add category

Consists of two blocks built about the mid 1940's on land that contained old dilapidated small houses. In 1982 a tenant told me that in 1910 she was living in one of the small houses when she found some 'old yellow coins' nearby. Her dad made her throw them away. 100 yards away is St Marys Church and when rebuilt in 1715 Roman bricks were discovered and in 1867, a mile away in Plough Road (now Way), a vessel was found that contained 1300 Roman gold coins of the Emperor Hadrian.
