Banton's lane is on the left coming into Ticknall from the Melbourne Direction, just after the entrance to Calke Abbey. The tiny, unsurfaced lane has a few dwellings. I guess they lived at one of the small cottages on the right, but don't know for sure. At the top it leads straight through a field and into Calke Park. I walked into the park and it took me to the tunnel where lime was transported from the Lime Yards at Ticknall to Ashby. I walked through the Lime Yards, got a bit muddy and lost and then on to the Staunton Harold Reservoir. see more photo's ................Thursday 6 August 2009
BANTON'S LANE, TICKNALL, DERBYSHIRE
I took Poppy for a walk to Ticknall today to discover Banton's Lane. This is where my Great Grandparents Henry and Edna Clarke lived with their three daughters at the time of the 1901 census.

I am doing research on the servants at Calke and have come across the surname Banton. A bit of digging turned up a Dynasty of Bantons going back to the 1680’s in Ticknall. Have you any idea why Banton’s Lane was called that? I would imagine there’s a link with the family.
