Wiggins Lane tries to keep itself private by hiding behind Ham Street and by not going anywhere but the attractive cottages there mean that I walk along there quite often.
Pointers Cottages is the row of cottages along side that footpath that continues on to Stretton Road while the road turns towards Woodville Road. The sign that announces them is clearly visible and, judging by the square font, quite old.
The cottages themselves are always pretty with their white walls, colourful woodwork and thick foliage.
Wiggins Cottages are toward the Ham Street end of the road and are set slightly further back. Their sign is a lot harder to find and looks a lot newer.
Just across the road in Wiggins Lane this fine example crawls across the front of one of the cottages.
One of the nice things about several of the built up areas in Ham is that there are small paths, or twittens, that allow pedestrians to move more freely through the area. This one links Stretton Road and Wiggins Lane and, bizarrely, has a gate in the middle of it.
Pointers Cottages are hidden at the end of Wiggins Lane which, itself, is hidden between Ham Street and Woodville Road. The end cottage, number 7, is now undergoing a major redevelopment that includes side and rear extensions.
St Mary's Mews is a small private development off Wiggins Lane, i.e. a quieter road off a quiet road.
Wiggins Lane is a small road that goes between Ham Street and Woodville Road. These two roads meet anyway so Wiggins Lane is little used, except by the few people who live there. It provides an interesting alternative walking route that provides different views, like this one.
