The large trees between the houses on the right mark the site of one of two former stone quarries along this road (the second is by the bend in the distance),from which reputedly stone was obtained to build the Castle and the Abbey. They are overgrown, but still clearly visible holes in the ground. Forty years after the housing estate was built, these two pieces of land are still owned by the estate's developers', Bryant Homes.
