My house is on the second one!
There looks to be a cemetery at the bottom end of Meadow Lane, land that is now Grove Park and the Redrow estate, Fallbrook Drive. I never knew that! It would have been next to the North East Tech playing fields, Played there a few times against Alsop.
And Barnfield Drive/Melwood doesn't exist!

….you can just make out the pond on Meadow Lane playing fields. I was told there was one there near the end of where Lingmell Road runs now.
