RUPP through Bentsley spinney, Marshalswick
(Road Used as a Public Path) TL1609 has changed dramatically since the 30s. Post war housing now dominates land use in the SE of the square, newer housing to the SW and W, schools and community open space to the north.
Happily there remain several green spaces, including Bentsley Spinney at the west edge of the square. Bentsey Spinney used to be used for gravel extraction, deressions due to gravel pit existing in the Spinney.
TL1609.. a nice place to live...
