Hi,
I am a former resident of that area and you have got me scratching my head. Basically the housing estate stands where the old Electricity Board training college was (demolished in the 90s). From memory there was a car park for the college that was directly behing the cock pub. At the bottom of the car park (point of the streetmap arrow) there was swampy area which had a ditch - although I am not certain if it formed a moat. Jeez... I hadn't thought of this place for years and I am not certain if had any historical detail as I only worked at the place as kitchen go-fer whilst studying!
if my memory provides any more detail I will post again!
