This open green space is first depicted on the 1851 OS as part of a larger area of enclosed strip fields. Its present boundaries relate to that of 'Railway Quarry' depicted on the 1891 OS. Two large dwellings associated with the name "The Glen" are depicted at the north west corner of this area in 1903 - at the same time the area of the quarry appears to have undergone landscaping as a garden with paths, a fountain and a glasshouse all depicted on this map. "The Glen" disappears from OS maps between 1966 and 1988, with the former garden features now apparently lost. Partial legibility of former quarry edges likely.
