The Bearwood housing estate was built in the 1980s and had no regard for the borough boundary: in some cases the boundary goes right through houses, such as here in Hull Road. The border is not accurately marked on the 1:50,000 map at this point; it does not coincide with High Howe Lane but is parallel to it a little back from the road.
