Re: Re: Three Sisters

There was a golf course on the site at one time. It was known as the 'Golf Links', although not strictly correct usage of that term. It closed in the early 60s when the area was earmarked for redevelopment, and the golf club eventually moved to the former New Garswood Hall grounds, near Ashton Cross. The spongy turf of the original Bryn Road course was still in evidence until the modern Three Sisters development started.

Re: Three Sisters Footpath to Canal

The footpath you mention does go from Landgate Lane to the canal. If you go from the railway bridge, towards Landgate, it is about about 100 yards or so on the right.

Re: Three Sisters Footpath to Canal

Hi Ian -

The footpath discussed at the meeting isn't the one north of the railway bridge. It is one running from Landgate Lane about 100 metres SOUTH of the exit from Three Sisters, east towards the canal. Near to the exit on the bridle path, there is a footpath which veers to the right following Park Brook, which comes out at Bryn Hall Farm. I understand that the footpath referred to is a continuation of this, running by the side of a house by Park Brook Bridge, and gives a more direct route to the canal than the one you're referring to.
