BHS PGBT 12 Stars As part of the Patchetts Green Bridleways Trust's and the British Horse Society's work to record paths before Path Extinguishment Day, it was spotted that this route appeared to be an old road. The historical evidence from the tithe commutation and the Inland Revenue valuation showed a continuous route, so an application was made in 2024 to record the route as a restricted byway.
