Pink Road
From Lacey Green History
This road (official stone track) was created in 1823, at the time of the Enclosures of Princes Risborough. At that time it was called Windmill Road. It replaced another road (track) which lay parallel, but higher on the ridge of the escarpment that passed nearer to the Windmill. There were no houses on this road in 1823. Windmill Farm stood just off the road, but did not open on to it. There were four cottages at Parslows Hillock, but they lay just off the road, facing Lily Bottom Lane. The public house known as the Pink and Lily, after which the road was later named, had not yet been built. Widmer Farm was the first property to be built on the road, part way along.
