Immediately behind these railings is the small rest garden (a.k.a. former burial ground). In the spring of 2016 The Women's Institute submitted a bid for £12,050 of improvements to this green space. Their project aims to equip the space with new garden furniture and to generally improve the horticultural environment. It is anticipated that the W.I. will coordinate the project, with support from the Parks and Open Spaces Service. Another gated entrance/exit can be found at the end of a footpath parallel with the side of a new-build apartment block on Woolpack Lane called The Habitat on Barker Gate. The building seen here seems likely to have been a former lace-finishing factory.
