Field behind the Grove School
A beautiful open space surrounded by the urban environment.
The Malvern to Worcester railway line passes on the western side of the field.
The local plan indicates that this field would be suitable for development to increase the housing stock in South Worcestershire.
Hundreds of years ago this land was bought for the parish of Clerkenwell in London.
