Blackbrook Road

Does anyone know what the field was called that was to the east of Blackbrook Rd before the estate was built there in the early 1960s? My mother would be most grateful.

This is a picture (1958) of the field from Blackbrook Rd looking towards Redmires Rd, with the golf course beyond and you can just see Crimicar lane in the distance and the edge of the old isolation hospital.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

Hi Mike, The field in question was part of the old Lodge Moor Hall estate still there in 1855, to the far east there was a farm called Wiggins, Blackbrook Road was then classed as part of Bole Hill Lane.
