| It's interesting to note that this lane is now a public footpath leading to Kingswood Gardens but is still wide enough to drive down because it has a barrier across the entrance to it. |

This site eventually became the school but in the photo it's the main Oxbarn farm estate. The owner (Isaac Saredon Sparrow, son of John William Sparrow) sold off the nearby land a few years after this photo was taken to builders who began constructing the houses that exist there today. |

It is. If you compare the modern day photos from Google maps you'll see the whole Oxbarn estate being formed. The eventually join it to Trysull Road but in the 1927 photo you can see the Gunmakers pub is there on the corner. |
