NOTES

1. Neepsend

"Parkwood Springs which contains many new houses and gardens, those in the higher part commanding extensive views of the town and neighbourhood. Some of the road names are different from the contemporary names; Orchard, Prospect, Mount, Vale and Norfolk Roads date from 1856. Orchard Road was named after the Orchard through which it was built, it was renamed Wallace Road in 1876. Prospect Road was a typically optimistic Victorian road name but was renamed Pickering Road in 1876. Vale and Mount Roads, which were named after the topography of the district, retained their original names; Norfolk Road was named after the Duke of Norfolk owner of the Old Park Wood. However there was another Norfolk Road in Sheffield so the Norfolk Road of Parkwood, was renamed Norfolk Road North to avoid confusion, it was renamed Douglas Road in 1876."
