A small greenspace at the foot of Stamford Gardens flats Image has something for all ages and different numbers of legs. The well-used footpath through it is a handy shortcut between Clarendon Crescent and Rugby Road. In the 19th century a watercourse, the Milverton Brook or Binsbrook was culverted through here. Around 1970 the site was threatened by proposals for a dual carriageway. Around 1990 a huge underground holding tank for storm water was constructed under the adjoining garden.
