Bridleway around the back of St.Wulstans
Now a modern residential estate, but before that an american D-Day hospital and later a mental hospital. The bridleway to Brickbarns Farm was diverted around the war time camp and was never reinstated.

Bridleway behind St.Wulstan's Hospital Site, Upper Welland
St Wulstan's was one of several war time hospitals built in preparation of the expected D-Day casualties. Later a mental hospital with workshops. On closure much of the site was converted into an estate of large houses. Despite their large gardens (back fence on the right of the picture) the owners appear to have created their compost heaps on the bridleway land.
