It leads to Servite Close. The old walls interested me and a wondered what was behind them and it turns out it is just back gardens of Highlands Avenue. Bognor Regis has several walks leading between the streets. I have been informed that these walls used to enclose a Nunnery of a closed order. There is a plaque at a small cemetery on the corner of Servite Close and Hawthorn Road honouring 25 sisters of the Servite Order that are buried there.
