Hole in t' Wall - Axle Lane Axle Lane is a bridleway connecting the villages of Todwick and South Anston in South Yorkshire, and is thought to have once been a coach road leading to nearby Keeton Hall, one-time home of the Second Duke of Leeds on the outskirts of Kiveton Park near Todwick. The former Duke’s 600 acre estate was used for hunting by the Duke and his guests and is the very reason why the village of Kiveton was later renamed Kiveton Park (indeed, the old definition of ‘Park’ is “an enclosed area of land stocked with game and held by royal prescription”.  The wall in this picture marked the estate’s northern boundary. The “hole in t’ wall” is located midway along Axle Lane between South Anston and Todwick at the junction of several public footpaths and bridleways. More remnants of this boundary wall exist in nearby Anston Stones Wood, and a short section of what is thought to have once marked the southern boundary stands beside the Chesterfield Canal on the west side of Devils Hole Bridge (No.33) one mile east of Kiveton Park Station.
