Clent Lane – Named after Clent, a village in north Worcestershire. The Lyttelton family seat is Hagley Hall in Worcestershire. Several streets in this area have names associated with the Lyttelton family because they were formed on Rural Section 76, 700 acres on the “Lower Lincoln Road, Heathcote Bridge” purchased by Frederick Spencer, 4th Earl Spencer (1798-1857) and Conway Lucas Rose (1817- 1910). Spencer’s interest in the land was passed on to his nephew, the Hon. George William Spencer Lyttelton (1847- 1913), the 4th son of George William Lyttelton, 4th Baron Lyttelton (1817-1876). First appears in street directories in 1979.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and not a lot that I can add to it. There are 36 single story units here that were built in 1977 and they are owned by the City Council as social housing. Found this information from an article or press release from the council about the units.
I didn’t walk this streets for obvious reasons.
I can say that I have visited Clent in the UK as I wanted to visit a telephone box library that was in the village. Sadly this wee library was destroyed by an arsonist in 2014.I will have to see if I can find a photo of the telephone box library. If you look at a map of the area surrounding Hagley Hall which is just up the road from Clent you will see some very familiar Spreydon names.
