PG: OBJECTS: PROMOTION: Bushey 52 Whomsoever Lane

Annotated map reproduced courtesy of Googlemaps.	'Whomsoever Lane' is the bridleway from Merry Hill Road generally south-south-east to Prowse Avenue, in Bushey parish. This path is actually a very old route which was in use (at least by walkers) at the time it was recorded. The order to record the path was unopposed, making this a quick acquisition compared to others! The Merry Hill Greenway (part of the H25 London Orbital Bridleroute) has a junction with Merry Hill Road to the west of this path. At the time of the BHS 2021 Access Survey (27 Sep 21), the path was correctly signposted at each end and was not obstructed.			Official Opening of Newly Recorded Bridleway (1992)
