A new development off Railway Lane in Littemore, completed in 2010, was named Astrop Lane after Louisa Astrop, who was a parish councillor in the village for 28 years and a community psychiatric nurse at Littlemore Hospital for about 20 years. She died in December 2005, aged 83.
This black plaque commemorating Mrs Astrop serves as a road sign.
