Pave Lane
Pave Lane is a hamlet in Shropshire, England, south of Newport, just outside the small village of Chetwynd Aston in the civil parish of Chetwynd Aston and Woodcote. It has numerous large houses, many of which have been built in a Duke of Sutherland-inspired architectural style. Residents have excellent views of the Shropshire countryside and are in close proximity to Lilleshall Hall.
There is a large public house in Pave Lane; 'The Fox'.
History
Because of its location on a toll road between Newport and Wolverhampton, which became the A41, the area became the site of many inns and coach houses.By 1767 it had become the site of a small lime works and brick works owned by local landlord Lord Gower, who made Pave Lane the terminus of Donnington Wood Canal. Limestone and coal was sold at the wharf at Pave Street and supplied the growing town of Newport with coal. The rise of railways and carriages meant the canal went into decline and the Pave Lane stretch of the canal closed in 1882; the canal has since been filled in.
The A41 road no longer runs through Pave Lane, instead it now passes on a new alignment just to the east of Pave Lane and Chetwynd Aston.
