Some rings on the old farm
This site used to be Hengrove Farm (now lost post-war, with the farmhouse now covered by the houses in the background). Its location was primarily concerned with a quarry, which is now a pleasant open green space. However, these ring features are a very recent addition which do not appear to have any historical relevance.

A bit of green on the old farm
This small but open public space was Hengrove Farm, and the area here north-west from the buildings was a quarry.

A small matter of a limestone block
It may seem out of place but this block is a small reminder of the fact that this patch of green was once a quarry.

John Hall Close
A modern housing development that stands on the site of the former Petherton Road School. It split into juniors and infants schools in 1949, but finally closed in the 1980s. As an aside, Petherton Road was originally known as Back Lane before the houses were built.

Investing in the community
The new homes are being snapped up, despite the amounts of money and lack of car parking. Still, the environment is being acknowledged in the build.
