The use of large stone flags stood on end to make a wall is somewhat unusual, and characteristic in an area with abundant flaggy sandstones strata belonging to the Carboniferous. These are particularly fine examples, but have seen several replacements with lesser stones over the years. The rampant growth of Japanese Knotweed here is appalling.
