Description

  
Source Number  

1 Whilst laying drains the foundation trenches of an old road were dug up in front of Radford Hall. The road is described as running from the Hall along the east side of the present road and then across Pringle Meadow in a NNE direction up to the Leam. The river today is quite deep at this point but may have been shallow enough to be forded before it was dammed up.
