Holt Rough/Holt Parks
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 20 Jul 2013
The name of two former woods that once covered these fields. Holt Rough was in the foreground and lay on what was once a former piece of common land whilst Holt Parks was beyond the dip to the right and was called Park Wood in Clapham's 1843 tithe map. Both woods were grubbed sometime in the 1960s. Clapham Wood can be seen in the distance to the right.
