Shirley Heath, including Spring Park Wood (also known as Kennel Wood, Spring Park Wood, Jacksons Common, The Heath)

Introduction

The golf course was purchased in 1934 by the local council; pre-fabs and then the Shrublands Estate were built on the northern part, with the southern part provided as public open space. The only reminder of Spring Park Wood survives in a small area of woodland surrounded by housing north of Links View Road.
