A view from near the closed end of this cul-de-sac, across a field that appears to be used for grazing horses. Near to the photographer's left is an entrance into the south-west corner of the Brunts Academy. The long, low building at the foot of this field is also part of the school, served by an extremely long drive that branches off Bath Lane. This is a large secondary school that specialises in the Performing Arts. Brunts has been a Grammar School and a Technical School in the past and it traces its foundation to a bequest by Samuel Brunts in 1709. This was the year that Samuel Brunts left a bequest that was used by an Elementary School to assist local children "to learn an honest trade". The Brunts School became The Brunts Academy on 1st January 2012.
