IG10, Nafferton Rise
Previously this drive led to a house known as Osborne House (1885, 1905-11, certainly). We believe that this leg of what is now Nafferton Rise used to be the driveway that ended at the house, which was at its most northerly point. We traced it on old maps 1871-1936 (here's , by which time the house was Nafferton Lodge) but cannot confirm when it was built, nor when it was demolished. Given the date of what has been built on its grounds (Richmond Court blocks of flats and garages), to the south-east of the house, it had probably gone by the 1960s.
