Skittle Alley/Hollow Way/Ramblers Cottage

William Ralph Cartwright in the 1820’s gave all the streets formal names. Blacksmiths Hill and the Butts are self-explanatory and were probably in use long before then but why Hollow Way & Round Town, which is a frequent street name in this locality?
Skittle Alley was thus named because of the games played in back yard of the White Hart.

In the garden is the cistern supplying the Park House. Beyond is the remaining wall of the old Pumping house. Water was pumped up to the Park House twice a day. This cistern is within a private garden and is not normally on view.
