Furzedown Recreation Ground was opened in 1924, the name recalling the former heathland here (furze being another name for gorse). This view looks across the recreation ground from the entrance in Chillerton Road. The building on the far side with the sloping roof belongs to Graveney School and the tall block is part of Furzedown Halls of Residence.
