View towards Shortwood. Looking across the square from the public footpath near Grange Farm with the woodlands of Shortwood Rough Grounds and Butler's Hill Wood in the distance. Other than this footpath the only general public access to this square is the railway to Redditch which crosses the view shielded by the second hedgerow from the photographer.
