I remember hearing about a house in Park Avenue that was bombed during the war , I think it was on the left hand side up the top end as you approach St Giles

Edwin Richards Quarry which has been quarried for hundreds of years for the locally known Rowley Rag Stone it is now in the process of being shuit down but its history to employment in the area is important. Following Portway Road you can see the last remains of Portway Hall which are now converted flats.

Going up past the Fourways pub halfway up Portway Hill you will come to Portway Farm a listed building that has links to the gun powder plot

wonder what records companies like this have, if this site has been working for that many years ?
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
