Thinking about oak trees in connection with A-b's quiz I had a mind to wander this afternoon along Broad Oak Rd past the ambulance station and Caligen foam.

It's been quite a while since I was up there and there seem to have been some changes. A steam cleaner and an MOT garage which were once there no longer exist but what surprised me most of all was that I always thought there was a public footpath and right of way beyond the end of Broad Oak Rd up towards High Riley and Spire Farm.

All we encountered were signs saying private and no public access.

Are there any old maps showing public footpaths/rights of way up there?
