Bates Green
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 26 Jun 2011
Once a small green on Tye Hill Road which has long been enclosed though the original outline still remains beyond the hedges on either side as a gap between the lane and the fields. The house on the left is also called Bates Green and was originally an 18th century gamekeepers cottage built on the old green before it was extended and rebuilt in 1922. The garden is open to the public as part of the national gardens scheme and can be visited between June and September. See http://www.batesgreen.co.uk/ for information.
