Part of Beating the Bounds
Last weekend I was lucky enough to go on a guided walk around the area, which was once part of the grounds of the Old Rectory, which is at the junction of Steeple Row and Rectory Place. It was really quite surprising that the small building in its compact, grassy surroundings actually used to be situated in extensive grounds, and that the building itself, by the Georgian times, was rather large!
As I was being walked around the area surrounding the oldest part of the town, I remembered that a while ago I had wandered around there myself and taken quite a few photos. But, as usual, when I come to find them I can only find a few of them!! So, here's the few photos of Toothill Road that I could find, Toothill Road once being land belonging to the Old Rectory, and its name meaning something like, a lookout on a little hill. There's also a few photos of the other streets from the walk.
