Fox Lane is actually a path through Hanger Hill Park. It is seen here from Hillcrest Road. The main part of the park is to the right while section which is the nature reserve is to the left. The park and golf course at Hanger Hill Park were purchased in three stages. In 1906 the area adjacent to Hillcrest Road was bought from Charles Peevor Boileau Wood D.S.O., a Major in the Third Battalion Royal Scots. Later in 1920, land adjacent to Hanger Lane was purchased from Charles, now a Lieutenant Colonel, to extend the park. The golf course was bought in 1931 from Ardsley Estates Limited to complete the park seen today.
