Documentary Evidence


Buildings at the junction of Drove Road and the Military Road were known as 'Lead House' by 1858, when they appear on the first edition Ordnance Survey plan, and were apparently store houses for the Langley Lead Company. The crossroads is captioned 'Lead gate' on the county maps of Greenwood and Fryer in the 1820s.
