This is now a public park, but was once the grounds of Eastcote House - which was demolished in the 1960's. The wall is the west wall of what would have been the kitchen garden - now a large flower garden. I think it's safe to say that the pigeons were kept for food purposes, at least when the dovecote was first built.
