Monument record 11316 - Headlands

The Headlands is a short stretch of medieval roadway extending from the north-east corner of Grosvenor Park to where Grosvenor Park Rd. meets Union St. (1). On Lavaux's 1745 plan, it is labelled the Headlands Walk, as this eastern side of what is now the park appears to have been common land called the Headlands (5).
