Dwellings in Willow Grove. The brick retaining wall is to protect properties from the risk of flooding. Found to be ineffective consequential of the floods of 2007, it was subsequently rebuilt to a depth of 2.5 metres. Cattle are grazing on the adjoining Westwood pasture, granted to the townspeople in 1379-80.
