An entrance to Victoria Park
Quite a large area is fenced off though there is no obvious activity being undertaken within the fence. At this point it has fallen over completely.

Brookfield, Wash Lane
Brookfield cottage in Wash Lane, the house is dated 1809 with the initials JH and predates the adjacent schoolroom and church. It is known that Joseph Hughes, a toolmaker, his brother John and wife Hannah lived in the house at the end of the 19th century.
Wash Lane was the old road to London and almost opposite stood the black and white half-timbered house known as the Plague House which was built in 1656 by Richard Warburton. It is likely that those who died of the plague here were not buried in the consecrated ground of the parish but interred in the field immediately behind the plague house, which was at the time glebe land. No doubt this accounted for the human remains discovered in the mid 19th century and plotted on the 1875 map. The plague house was demolished in 1957.
