A and B indicate the site of Bassenhally Fields and Lattersey Fields respectively. These are flat open fields with a few scattered cottages.
C is the site of Gossard Farm (now recorded as Gothic Farm) in 1911 on the corner of Eastrea Road and Drybread Road. Drybread Road is the lane which led north to Decoy Farm in Feldale before turning west to join Back Road East in the town.
D is the presumed site of Kingsland. Although not marked on the map, today it is the site of the Kingsland Reservoir.
NOTES:
A: The hamlet of King's Delph lies alongside the King's Dyke about two and a half miles west of the town along Peterborough Road
B: St Andrew's Church
C: St Mary's Church
D: Pudding Bag Lane does not feature in any maps and is not generally recognised today. It appears in the 1851 and 1861 census returns and lies behind "Private" Road. In early Victorian days, many byways were called Private Road and were given a reference number before being granted their proper name
