Scholes Coppice & Keppel's Field LNR
The whole site was once the woodland of Scholes Coppice with Keppel's Column marking the southwest boundary of Wentworth Park.
The area which is now grassland was opencast during the 1940's and the soil was put back in an apparently haphazard manner. Attempts to grow grass and trees on it failed until the drainage ditches were dug (believed to be by German and Italian PoWs) and U-shaped concrete channels inserted. It was grazed by cattle during the 1960's.
