To the left (south-east) of the path shown in Image there was, in 1824, a field called Yew Close. By 1907 the eastern part of the field had been acquired by the railway company, who cut back the hillside to form the present steep bank, so that they could construct sidings. This view is of the southern part of the former field, next to the rear of the Stratton Road development.
