Green Lane and entrance leading to Langley Park and House (Two miles to the North). Attached is the 1945 historical image from Google Earth. The area with trees are the grounds of Kedermister House, which gave its name to the modern park.

I have checked every available map at Old Maps from the 1870s to the 1960s, and they all name this house as Langley House. The house at Langley Park is always marked as "Langley Park". I haven't found any records of a Kedermister House, although that's obviously the family name most associated with Langley Park.

Oh, and the 1881 census shows retired barrister James Watson (plus family and servants) living at Langley House, Bath Road.

Was demolished in the 1960s, but some of the woods remain, next to Langley Grammar School.

Langley House is in Langley Park to the north, I think this is Kedermister House. There was an entrance to Langley Park leading from the Bath Road which exists for part of the old route.
