Behind the blue gates a charity have been working part-time for over 6 months to transform an overgrown 5 acre woodland site into an outdoor learning centre for children. The woods, and a pond, were once part of the grounds of a large house that was variously known as The Rookery, The Grove and Goodenough House during the life of the house (c.1800-1936). The house was demolished (c.1936-38) to make way for a council housing estate, a block of which is visible on the corner of Constitution Rise and Moordown.
