Walking towards the northerly end of Hallowmere Road, one encounters a rough, overgrown embankment which also edges onto Boreham Park. Scaling the embankment is a concrete stairway with poorly constructed wooden bannister.
The embankment and the stairway - which like similar phenomena occasionally encountered throughout Horsingdon, seems to lead nowhere - is completely enclosed by a brutal, industrial palisade of galvanised steel.
It has been that that, on certain nights, an endless parade of ghostly figures can be seen ascending the stairs; other rumours hold that the stairway was constructed at the behest of the Gaurdians of the Black Bowers, and that strange sigils are inscribed within each step of the structure, delineating the stations of a ritual process which can effect a metaphysical transition into those abyssal zones inhabited by Those Who Wait.
Whatever the truth of the matter, rightminded Horsingdon folk tend to steer clear of the site.
