Help with address called Cosby Hill. Countesthorpe.

[Steve C]

Have recently visited the Wigston Record Office for the first time and obtained some fresh information and leads.

This has helped me kick start my family tree research. One thing leads to another and I have found an ancestor in 1974 lived at a location called Oak Bungalow, Cosby Hill, Leicester. Further research appears to suggest the address was Oak Bungalow, Cosby Hill near Countesthorpe.

Having drove past another ancestors former residence in Countesthorpe on my way to Wigston I am now curious to try and find out where Cosby Hill is/was. The nearest my research leads me is to Cosby Road in Countesthorpe.

Does anyone have any local knowledge and could assist with my query?

Many thanks Steve

Looking at Bing Maps, Cosby Hill is on Shuttleworth Lane, South Of Cosby and East of Broughton Astley.

Nearby are, Cosby Lodge, Cosby Hill Farm and Holt Farm.

Many thanks David for your reply.

I recall you have helped me out several times previously with information when I have posted a message requesting assistance, so I appreciate your continued interest in my posts

The only bungalow I know of just there is next door to Attfield's Farm Shop. I don't know it's name though, sorry.

Thank you very much for your reply.

The address was from 50 years ago, so the property may no longer exist. I was struggling to find it hence my original post and hoping someone with local knowledge could assist.

There are some maps close to that period which show the buildings in the area, although the bungalow is not named. Some of the farms seem to have adjacent cottages :-
