An
early 1900's map showing Eastwick Park and the some of the grounds.
The island/moat (A) is now on Eastwick
Park Avenue and the Stable Block (B)
is now part of Eastwick Infant School. As with all Grand Houses
the 'Service Entrance' to the house was via the back driveway
(C) where they also located the building housing the generator
for the electrical supply to the house. This is now the main
entrance to the school. The original Front Drive to the house met
Lower Road at what we now know as No 182. The driveway gates, complete
with pedestrian access side gates, are still in position there.
Like
all large houses of that time they had a Kitchen Garden
(B) and a Home Farm (E) to provide
them with fresh produce 365 days a year.

We have superimposed the 'footprint' of the house to give you some
idea of where the house was located. |
