Rose Avenue

Built in the 1950s & 60s (alongside others, all named after plants or flowers) on the site of the former Proctor's Rose Nursery which "uprooted" to Brookside in Chesterfield. Rose Avenue is the main road of the estate from which most of the others run off. Avenue denotes a wide street, usually tree lined. Sadly, there are no trees, and it isn't very wide.

Sandringham Close

Runs off Sandringham Road. Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of the British Royal Family and has been the private home to generations of British Monarchs since 1862. So, I have no idea what the connection is to Calow. Could it be that as post-war council housing it was a tribute to the new monarch, Elizabeth II, who ascended the throne in 1952?

Sutton Spring Wood

A heavily wooded hamlet of 45 houses. Although linked with Calow, it's also connected to Sutton-cum-Duckmanton and Temple Normanton. Sutton: from Anglo Saxon "Sut" meaning south and "tun" meaning enclosure, village or farmstead. Calow is in the ward of Sutton.
