Just discovered fascinating website Know Your Place which includes maps dating back to tithe maps of 1841.
Looking at Thornbury on the 1844 OS map, it shows the site of today's Vilner Lane Wood to be part of Thornbury Farm.
On the map below you can see the former railway station, Rosemount House, the bathing place, which is now The Bathings retirement flats, and Vilner Lane. I have marked in green the site of Vilner Lane Wood, sister to Filnore Woods.
We shall have to change the name we gave to Vilnore Lane Wood because it is so similar to Filnore Woods and people find it confusing.
