Steanard Lane around 1910 at the junction with Boat House Lane.
Boat House Lane got its name from the ferry that was operated from the boat house across the river.
This was also the site of
a locally remembered tragedy when several members of the Waddington family, owners of the Boat House Estate, were leaving home in a pony trap. The horse bolted and they were all thrown into the river which was in
flood and were swept away to their deaths.
