Tennyson Drive, MALVERN, WR14 2UL

Narrow passageway giving access to fields 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.

Part of an early 1980s housing estate using the surnames of poets in the address.

The field has the railway embankment on its west side, Meadow Rise to the north and the Grove School to the east. There are more fields to the south all of which may soon be developed for housing.

Estate Boundary Marker beside a footpath starting from Moorlands Road. Malvern parish. Cockshute Farm Estate was acquired in 1658 by Sir George Strode and he donated the income to the parish church and poor hospital of St. James in Clerkenwell, London. The posts were erected in the mid-1800s to mark the boundary of the estate. 25 were shown on a map of 1884 and many survive in gardens as the estate has been developed for housing.

Looking south (near mid-day) from the Moorlands Road railway bridge towards Great Malvern station. The train is about halfway between Great Malvern and Malvern Link - only a two minute journey - and is probably decelerating. Notice the left hand line is still supported by the old wooden sleepers whereas the other has been modernised with concrete replacements.

A small spur of Meadow Road to make use of the available building land up to the railway line. North Hill is in the distance.

Fields on land between The Grove School and the railway embankment (seen on the right). These fields have been identified as suitable for development as a future housing estate. The spire of Christchurch can be seen in the distance.

Tennyson Drive and Wordsworth Green. Part of a 1980s housing estate themed on poets. This area is private housing: detached and semi-detached.
