River Lane, Castle Hedingham c.1830s

Goodmorning friends,
Is there any possibility someone could tell me please, the location of River Lane, Castle Hedingham in 1820/30s?

See linked map view below. The unnamed road leading southwest out of the village to a ford over the River Colne, the present-day Queen Street, looks to be a good candidate. Note that the road to the north running due east to the river is named as Nunnery Street on the old map, thus ruling it out.

Thank you so much. I've been wondering for so long.

I did wonder if River Lane was the road that ran south, marked "Queen Street" on the 1876 map, past Sheepcot Farm.
There is no Queen Street on the '41 Census but it appears on the '51 Census. On the '41 Census there is a "William Basham, carrier" at River Lane and in '51 at Queen Street is a "William Basham, carrier and shoemaker". Of the 13 households in '41 his is the only one I can link with Queen Street in '51.

The '76 map shows Kennal Malting in that area and there are maltsters in River Lane '41.
