I was helping on a Heanor milk round in the early 1950s. But, we were 'posh', driving around in our new fangled electic 'lorry'. The milk came from the Langley Mill dairy. The roundsman's first name was Bill. Died around 1960, unfortunately.

Joining Coppice Colliery in the mid-50s, yes, Ganging was the name of the game and some of those poor horses deserved a meddle.

I'll have a search for the name of the lane as you suggest.
