Compare this view today with (4). we are looking in the same direction towards the rockery but one tier has gone and the seats replaced by metal benches.
At some point around 2010, the beck was diverted into a loop to prevent flooding and this loop came across part of what had been the flower bed in image 4. A grass bank now covers the rest of the flower bed area.

Location
This view taken in the mid 1960s is barely recognisable now. (see 5) Here we see beautifully tended gardens, a rockery with two tiers of seating and attractive crazy paving.
