That takes me back 50 years!
When I was at Uni I lived with friends, for the first year, in the house that’s now Hillscourt Hotel, and was a small prep-school at that time, just down Rose Hill.

Amazing shoot And there is so much history there

Nice shot, what does the monument represent? I did try and Google it but only come up with story’s of Mr Cadbury the chocolate man and all his wealthy friends funding the park…

So i believe it represents Mr Cadbury but Also the lives lost from the area in world war 2 but im not 100% sure on this, There is a lot of bunkers hidden in the woodland

Yeah, and without hijacking this thread too much, the stuff we found was fascinating, . 303 rounds (bullets), rations, parts of radio equipment.
