Does anyone know if Ball Lane was once called Kings Street? If not does anyone know where Kings Street used to be please?
David Replied on Thu, Nov 30, 2023 at 1:21pm
Ball Lane was called such because of the pub at it's junction with Canterbury Road was called the Golden Ball, this was from at least 1808

Looking at the wikipedia page for Kennington https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennington,_Kent it says Kennington is Saxon for King's Town and that in 1798 there was a "small street of houses northward of the village" called King street.. This description matches with Ball Lane but I can't find any record of it being known as Kings Street.

Maybe a local history buff knows?

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am not local to Ashford so do not know any local buffs.
My wife's forebears show as living in King Street, Kennington in the mid 19th cent, so if Ball Lane has borne that name since 1808 it seems. Unlikely they are the same.
Incidentally my wife's 2xGreat grandmother was born in Clyde Cottage, Ball Lane. I have found the building via Google but it is most probably called something else now.
Many thanks for your help

Napps Way

15th April 2024

Why is the road called Napps Way (belonging to Napp, but minus an
apostrophe as is usual with such nomenclature)? Moreover, who or
what is, or was, “Napp” in the respective, possessive case?

Several years ago, I met an elderly man (probably in his late-eighties)
who lives on Bentham Drive, Liverpool 16, and during a conversation
with him whilst in a Northwest Passenger Transport Ambulance on the
way to the former RLUH (Royal Liverpool University Hospital), he told
me that he could remember (when he was a boy, living in Childwall,
Liverpool 16) that, “Where Napps Way is now, during WW2, there was
a two-man gun emplacement on the, then, open land to protect the
railway line passing over Childwall Valley Road - next to the railway
bridge - when suddenly, as they were loading a live “shell” into the gun’s
breach, the aforementioned “shell” accidentally exploded in the gun’s
breach killing both of the two soldiers, that had been manning the gun,
instantly! (Very sad, of course, but could - perhaps - two ghosts relating
to those two, very unfortunately and prematurely-killed soldiers have
haunted that place of their deaths ever since - and have any residents
of Napps Way - formerly and in its latest incarnation - seen two, WW2
(uniformed) soldiers unexpectedly appear in or near their homes?)
