SteveHB Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What is the origin of this Road name ? What evidence is there as to its naming ? Looking a my 1988 Street atlas, lots of roads joining Middlewood Road in that area seem to have .. what seem to be persons names, perhaps there's a connection somewhere?

dunsbyowl1867 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What is the origin of this Road name ? What evidence is there as to its naming ? Peter Harvey says that it was built in 1850s as part of the Dykes Hall estate. Robert and his sons John Daniel and Robert Eadon were members of the committee which developed the 192 plot estate and the road is named after them ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
