[edit] History

Chilton Lane was formerly known as Chilton Buildings, and seems to date from circa 1830, as mining homes for a new pit shaft. Chilton Buildings was first mapped circa 1840. The establishment, in the 1870s, of Chilton Colliery boosted the growth of the whole area. "Chilton Buildings" last appeared on a map in 1954, but by the mid 1960s the name had vanished.
