You once had the old Bourne Hall inside the wall, to the right in this snap, and there still are a couple of old properties to the left, one of them looking a couple of hundred years or more old and the other now a private school rather than a private house, the one responsible for the late Oliver Reed. I remember reading, I know not where, that the bay was let into the wall so that some particular gentleman who came visiting had someone handy for his carriage to wait.
But the catch with that is that the wall belongs to Bourne Hall and why would the owner of Bourne Hall, with his extensive grounds, need to do such a thing for one of his visitors and why would he choose to do it for someone else's?
And according to gmaps, the bay has a single yellow line which suggests that control has been ceded to the council.
Maybe the people in the Bourne Hall (local history) museum will be able to explain what is going on.
