The green is alongside William Brown Close, viewed in late December 2014. A Google Earth Street View taken in May 2011 shows the perimeter wooden posts but no boulders. A local told me that the boulders were installed to prevent the green being used for the vehicles of Travelling People, the name by which itinerant people often call themselves, in preference to names now usually seen as derogatory, such as gypsies or tinkers.
