The quadrangle is a semi open area that was built in 1953 on the site of the former large Victorian house called Beech Hurst. The last owner had bequeathed both house and gardens to the council to be used for public enjoyment. However, the house had not been lived in since 1940 and used by the military during the war and was seen to be beyond repair and pulled down not long after it was acquired in 1950. The quadrangle was built next to the former stables and billiard room which were turned into tea rooms but were pulled down in a revamp around 2002, however, the quadrangle survived and has now been integrated into the newly built Harvester public house.
