Entrance into the 1960s Grassmead Estate, built on the site of a large house here, Grassmead House, which in its later years housed St Philomena's Convent High School. The roads in this estate are named after airmen who died in the Battle of Britain, as explained on the plaque visible beyond the postbox in this photo (see Image). Mungo Park Way commemorates F/LT J C Mungo Park - see http://www.bbm.org.uk/as-mungopark.htm.
