An aerial photograph suggests that this land has been used for tipping rubble. It was the site of first one gasholder before 1905, then two from before 1933, reducing to one in the 1970s. The gas works was on the land by the river that is now a private boat park. There is still a gas installation adjoining the road. The nearest house in the background, left, is 'Leaside', also seen in Image The blue-painted house right of centre (and across the main road) is called Cliff Park and is shown on the OS map of 1890.
