Dunsmore Avenue runs across the picture, climbing left to right. The dense growth of scrub is on a strip of land running back from St James' Lane. A map of 1938 shows a small building on it, identified in 1947 as greenhouses and the land as 'Market Garden'. From the 1950s to the 1970s it is shown as 'Nursery'; a building appears at the front of the site. On a map of 1982 the site is unidentified and by 1992 carries tree symbols. Bollards at the edge of the trees, right, suggest public access.
