Description

During 1957 C E Bean observed the Southern Gas Board laying a gas main along the entire length of Pinford Lane. This work damaged many unrecorded buildings. The trench demonstrated that the settlement continued further west than previously thought and it may be that other buildings have been covered by the construction of pleasure grounds at ST 6503 1685.
