The mystery of Chilwell's Ghost House Lane and an unsolved disappearance

In Chilwell, close to the Derbyshire border, is a very rare road name. In fact, according to Google Maps, it only shares the first part of its name with two other roads, both on opposite ends of Australia.

It is called Ghost House Lane, and it sits next to the Eskdale Junior School, between a couple of tram stops. What could have happened here, to give it such a vanishingly rare name?

There was a "Ghost House" here once, but it's long gone, and very few will remember it. It was demolished in 1952, around the time of redevelopment in the area.
