Somerset Folly

Somerset Folly is a twisting residential street consisting mainly of rather boring grey bungalows. It runs west from The Avenue to St Mary's Close.

Site of Demolished Works

This is the site of the former works of the Wheeler Reconstructed Stone Company which produces artificial stone from a mix of cement and crushed Bath stone.This is used in new build house projects as a cheap replacement for natural stone. They appear to have relocated to Marsh Lane, Temple Cloud but it is uncertain if they are still manufacturing. In this image it can be seen that on the remaining site there appears to be evidence of an old kiln , perhaps a lime kiln.

Bridleway sign on Parkway Lane

Although the tarmac continues to Wallmead Cottage, the public road ends here for motor vehicles unless you have resident's access rights. Parkway Lane is a bridleway from this point northwards. A public footpath also crosses the road here and Newton Brook passes under it.
