Edmund Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Junction of Norton Lees Lane and Derbyshire Lane, looking east. This map even shows the lamp post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin72 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Walked past there just the other day. Noticed the lovely cottage wedged in between the pub and an industrial unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats brilliant, thanks Edmund. I understand the word 'Lee' comes from the word 'Leah' meaning a clearing or meadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadFarmer Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Great photos thanks. Now trying to place the stone cottages that still stand, with the above photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLongden Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Everything left of the long cottage (Blue) has gone. Cottage at rear (Green) is now Williams builders, but with chimney stacks reduced. Cottages scrubbed out in red are where new Cross Scythes entrance, frontage and car park are now..... I’ve had my crayons out 😁👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLongden Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Yes it is and it’s still there as a private house, much the same, but without that single-storey frontage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadFarmer Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 That whole areas of Maugerhay would have looked beautiful, there were the cottages of Norton Green opposite, that were pulled down for the new estate, and of course the school that Francis Chantry went to as a boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say not the chimneys are in the correct alignment for a backyard view of Chantrey's birthplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
