Open parkland used for grazing animals & donkey rides in the last century
In the north-west corner of the junction is a group of beech trees. Near Warwick Road 2 drinking fountains were erected by local subscription in 1878 by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association (trough now gone); whole cross-roads planted up. There are remnants of the 1887 white metal rail and posts on some areas of the boundary.
