Wallingford's Shortest Footpath?

Shown on the map as following the edge of a school field to Castle Street at the other end, the path is no longer in existence beyond the 20 metres or so visible here, where bushes take over. For a long time there has been a road following the same route a short distance away, and the path is redundant but I guess nobody has gone through the rigmarole of officially closing it. There is even a recent looking signpost at this end, as seen here.
