    Local roads
    The names of some of the roads and cross roads and bridges and hills around our house are forty lane the glin lane, Whisthing bridge Dukes crossroads Webster's hill and Rockspring hill.
    Forty lane leads to the glin lane and the glin lane leads to Camolin.
    All the houses on Forty lane are called Forties. Dukes crossroads is so called because a man named Tom Duke lived in the ruins of a house in front of it.
