King Edward VII Lower school and associated playing fields, also includes Lydgate primary school. Prior to the building of the school the area is shown as farmland, probably associated with Tapton Rise Farm. A number of other farms are shown on the 1st edition OS map of 1855 but these have disappeared by 1935. The 1st edition map also shows an aqueduct crossing the polygon. The course of this corresponds to a line of trees shown on an aerial photograph of 1999. Legibility is, however, invisible.
