Pretty Lane This picture was taken around 1900, but the road is not listed as in existence in 1905. Do you know where the lane was, or what is there now? Maybe Pretty Lane was the name it was known by locally, and it was officially something else. We know of a road nicknamed Pretty Windows Lane, but that name seems inappropriate for this picture. |
