I should be telling you about our super convenient location on Wetmore Road BUT I'd rather tell you about some cool local history instead! π
Did you know that Wetmore is one of the oldest settlements in Burton on Trent?
First mentioned in a charter of 1012, the boundary outlined suggests that the early medieval Wetmore estate incorporated much of what later became Horninglow and part of Anslow.
Cited in the great survey of 1086, King William the Conquerors "Domesday Book", the land known as "Witmere" had been lived and farmed for generations! π
The Wetmore Road we know today has been called by many names throughout history.
Starting as the humble footpath Andesleytoft Lane in 1430, then becoming Anlestaff Lane in 1482; the name Anderstaff Lane was in use by 1592 and remained so until changed to Wetmore Road in 1878.
Will the name change again? π€
I've made a request for "RentContainer Road" with the council but they've been ignoring my calls...
Anyway, if you need some extra space in a central Burton location, speak to one of Storage Experts today!
