This is a simple traditional cache and No.15 in an occasional series.
These byways have come into being through a variety of reasons. Some are easements for drainage etc., others are walkways left in subdivisions while a few are narrow linear creek walks. Older lanes provided access for the ‘night carts’ that collected ‘night soil’ from the houses backing on to the lanes – nice euphemisms!
All the byways are easily accessible by foot and some by car, although walking is recommended. Some are quite attractive while others are less appealing. The caches are all on public land.
WARNING This general area is closely settled and traffic is likely at all hours of the day or night. It may be advisable to walk into GZ rather than be muggled and have to shift your vehicle.
This lane was named after Matilda Dixon, an early resident and business woman of Eastwood. In 1893 she and her husband moved from their house in Bristol Street where they had lived since 1887 to the shop and house they had bought on the corner of Birkin Street and John Street. She ran the village shop there till at least 1899 and also owned and rented out several houses in Eastwood.
The shop continued to trade under various owners until the 1950s, and is still standing although now converted into a private dwelling.
Please replace the cache as you found it.
