Full description

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

'Retreat' is marked north-north-east of 'Hawson Court' on the late 19th century historic map; not shown on the earlier 1840s Tithe Map. Modest, rectangular building aligned north-west by south-east located in the woodland to the north of Hawson Court with small additional structure adjoining at right angles at the south-eastern end (north side).

Ordnance Survey, 1904 - 1906, Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25 inch Map (Cartographic). SDV325644.

Building appears unchanged from the late 19th century historic map depiction.

Ordnance Survey, 2023, Mastermap 2023 (Cartographic). SDV365227.

The modern mapping shows this building as ruined / no longer roofed, although the small adjoining structure may have survived better; appears that the building(s) have fallen into disrepair since the historic map depictions and presumably are no longer utilised.
