This old wall was presumably built when the houses fronting Carpenter Road were constructed. It has an interesting mixture of brick bonds and different coloured bricks. Near the base of the pillar is an Ordnance Survey cut benchmark. This benchmark is shown on the 1890 1/2500 map, but for some reason not on the 1904, 1919 or 1945 editions.
