The path narrows

Work has begun on new housing to the rear of Green Lanes alongside the footpath which once ran across Clappers Green Farm. 

There has been a footpath extending west in this location for over 500 years – the Clappers Green footpath once extended as far as the entrance to The Mall.

A section of the footpath between Green Lanes and the railway line will be narrowed by 70 cm to make way for an access road to the new properties.

   

Looking west along the site of the access road to the new properties – the footpath is to the right of the picture.
