Behind the blue gates a charity have been working part-time for over 6 months to transform an overgrown 5 acre woodland site into an outdoor learning centre for children. The woods, and a pond, were once part of the grounds of a large house that was variously known as The Rookery, The Grove and Goodenough House during the life of the house (c.1800-1936). The house was demolished (c.1936-38) to make way for a council housing estate, a block of which is visible on the corner of Constitution Rise and Moordown.

Behind a pair of metal gates off Constitution Rise a charity has been working part-time for the last 6-9 months to transform an overgrown 5 acre woodland site and pond into an outdoor learning centre for children. The site was once part of the grounds of a large house that was variously known as The Rookery, The Grove and Goodenough House during its life (c.1800-1936). The house was demolished (c.1936-38) to make way for an adjacent L.C.C. council housing estate on a large corner plot of land formed by the junction of Constitution Rise with Moordown.

A glance down Shooter's Hill (Dover Road/A207) in the direction of the former Royal Herbert Army Hospital gives a view of Christ Church (Anglican) Voluntary- Aided Primary School. Despite the existence of a 'modern' extension on the left to the original school building on the right, recent pressure on its facilities led to Lakehouse plc securing a contract to build a further extension and a multi-use games area on an area of common land at the rear of the building in 2012, a scheme that met with a certain degree of resistance from some local inhabitants.
