Old quarry west of Wilmington Court
Image: © Phil Thirkell Taken: 25 Mar 2019
This is a very overgrown triangular piece of ground between Wilmington Court on the east and Velville Court on the west. Unfortunately it was too overgrown to explore properly. The location is shown on the 2nd edition of the OS map (revised in 1894) as "old quarry". On the 1st edition OS map (surveyed 1858) it is shown as the location of "Blood House". I haven't been able to find any information about Blood House or the quarry.
