Woodrow Hill
Woodrow Hill, full view, taken from Park Lane in 1991. The photograph
shows the large, detached houses at the lower end of hill, and the entry
to Mulberry Garden's houses, between the two houses with red roofs. The
larger houses were built in the 1980s and Mulberry Gardens built from
the 1980s to 1990s. The Apex Garage stood near the bottom of the hill
in the 1950s. Higher up the hill are semi-detached and detached properties
built in the 1960s, and then the Bondfield Terrace houses. Ivy House on
the other side of the road is in shade.

Ivy House, Woodrow Hill taken from Park Lane in the 1980s. Ivy House isa
17th century property, for many years a farm. Occupied for many years
by the Tillotson family, then Wheatleys. The stone building on the left
of the house was built as a summer house for the convalescence of Miss
Tillotson, daughter of the farmer. In the foreground are the long, low
sheds where rhubarb was 'forced' early in the year by growing it in heat
and dark. They were built on a level part of a large field - the old,
medieval West Field.
