Nabob Lane – A nabob was a governor in India during the Mogul empire. Another meaning is a wealthy man, especially one who has made his fortune in the Orient. Sir John Cracroft-Wilson (1808-1881) was often called “Nabob” Wilson or “the Nabob”. Named to continue the tradition of using Indian placenames as street names in the locality. The last 30 sections of the Cracroft family estate, at 60 Worsleys Road, were auctioned on 8 December 2007. Named in 2004.
The library website had a reasonable amount of information. This tiny private lane runs off Worsley Rd and the area is called Cracroft. I wasn’t actually able to walk this street as there wasn’t a footpath and it was very clearly a private lane. Looked like one or maybe two large houses at the end of the lane.I also didn’t manage any photos.
