TEASDALE ROAD - Walney Island
The first homes to be constructed on Teasdale Road were those, which now carry the numbers 1 (95) to 8 (81), being known today as 81 to 95, following a numbering change in the first quarter of 1924 and were built by contractors of William Gradwell from 1870 to 1880 as was Keral House (originally The Croft) and Croft Cottage on the lower most south east corner of the road. Teasdale Road (lower north) which can be seen in the picture on the far right is part of the Red Ley Estate that was constructed by the Turner & Norris company between 1959 and 1969. Other streets on this construction were: Combe View, Bankfield Gardens, Kirkby Gardens, Lower Foxfield Road, Silecroft Gardens and Grizbeck Gardens. Other homes on Teasdale road such as those on the upper south side were built as part of the Barnes estate 1972 to 1975, and constructed on what was once the village green and now consisting of Leighton Drive, Lowther Cresent and Muncaster Road. Originally and prior to any construction the field name/s for this particular row of houses was that of Crofts. On an original plan drawn up in the late 1800's by William Gradwell the 'back' street running adjacent to the 'Old Chapel' site was to be called Hardy Street and those houses which now occupy the area that was once the northern most side of Cassidy's coal yard were built during the late 1990's.
