Church Walk is a path that bisects the graveyards of the former St Andrew's church - originally the principal church of the village of Clifton. It is better known locally as Birdcage Walk and the view here gives a good impression in support of it. The name goes back some time; nearby contemporary Victoria Square also had railings but these were taken down to contribute to the war effort. Interestingly, the more extensive railings and supports are still here in Church Walk - perhaps the prestige of the path (and the heavy foliage!) prevented the iron going to the furnaces.
