garinda Give, give, give member Overlooker Mar 13, 2006 #2 I don't know for sure, but I imagine that originally it would have been farmland. I can just about remember the ruins of a farm on Aspen Lane that owned the fields that is now the housing estate that stretches down nearly to Blackburn Road.

My bet is that the land would have been agricultural, as much of it was, both pre and post the industrial revolution.
