A lovely little back-road – which actually climbs what passes for hills in the flatlands of East Angular! – I far prefer to drive on than the A-roads in this area.
Being just off The Great North Road/Ermine Street, ‘Rogues Lane was noted for highwaymen.’ According to a local history website (read more here). I’m not sure about this, but I fancy Dick Turnip might’ve been fairly local.
And not far away, lay Caxton Gibbet, where such rogues might wind up, dancing the Tyburn Jig, for the entertainment and edification of locals and passers by!
Teresa and I looked at a property on this fab country road. I can’t recall now if it was a rental, or sale? Would’ve been nice to have a home address that was on Rogues Lane, methinks.
* In the background, the burnt out shell (now replaced by a complex of McDonalds, Subway, etc.) of what was once the Gibbet Inn, and – when it (was?) burned down – the (rather good) Yim Wah Chinese restaurant.
