Galleywood, Deadmans Lane
The infamous 'Deadmans Lane' in the village of Great Baddow or Galleywood (depending on what end of the lane you're at) near the City of Chelmsford in the County of Essex (UK).
The name of this lane has caused much local social media debate over the years from where the name comes from.
I've read several theories including a gallows once sited at the end of the lane, a dead body found in a well in the 17th century which was renamed 'Deadmans Well' and two Napoleonic wars era soldiers duelling to the death during the early 19th century.
Deadmans Well is marked on modern and historical ordnance survey maps and a resident of the lane that I'd just dropped off moments before the photoshoot assured me this is the correct answer.
