An old name for that part of the Walton Road which connects the two villages of East and West Molesey. It is possibly a corruption from the Middle English word "cangle", meaning a boundary fence, for this lane or more likely the stream which ran by the side of it, was probably the original boundary between the manors of Molesey Priory and Molesey Matham.
