 Grass lane?

On the 1791 Map, two lanes are shown passing Shipley Hall. One is the lane to Marlpool - no cottages shown en-route.
The other is the steep lane running down the side of the Hall grounds to Sye's Lane/Ilson Rd; with a couple of dwellings, situated on the lane. One is near the top of the hill, the other near the bottom. Grass Lane?

If it was the lane from Hassocks lane to Shipley village that would make sense-as most of the family lived on Hassock Lane at that time. Thanks

It could have been the road from Hassocks Lane down to Shipley Village. You come over the railway bridge, on your left the drive to what used to be the NCB No 5 Area managers house nest to the carp pond( got a posh name now I bet) then a bit of green trianular in shape. On the left the old No 5 Area underground training center with a terrace of six or so cottagesn on the opposite side of the road, set well back. Making a right turn heading towards the site of the railway station, two or three substantial detached houses on you left with the cottages on your right. I remember the cottages being painted white and really close to the cutting for the railway.
Is the lattice work iron footbridge still standing ? It gave a good view of the platform which I remember being very wide. It was wide enough to take a carriege and horses. It may just be a series of coincidences but you have Newcastle Colliery, at Welbeck Abbey the Dukes of Portland aka Earls of Newcastle under Lyme etc with one of the dukes who travelled by rail in a coach that could be carried on a railway flat car. This particular duke did not like being seen in public. They had coal interests in both Derbyshire and in Nottinghamshire. Could there have been some financial link between the Miller Mundy and Dukes of Portland via a common interest in money from coal mining.It is probably just a string of coincidences but it could be plausible.

ps I am not trying to take over the forum I just get time to tap on the keyboard when I'm not working so it comes in great globs of random thoughts and memories.

No such luck. There are several lanes/paths, with the occasional cottage(s) on them, but unfortunately there are no lane/path names. Yer pays yer penny......... (upto now, anyway).

Not found a name on the old maps, but perhaps a likely candidate for 'Grass Lane' is the now non-existent small lane/track/path which ran between the Hall and apparently skirted and in part, went through 'Shoulder of Mutton Wood' to Shipley Wharf.
It looks and sounds a likely choice?
