The new housing, to the left of the road, is "affordable housing for key workers", and was built on the site of the former Queen's Hospital. Built as high density housing, with minimal provision for motor vehicles. Note the wind turbines on some of the houses. To the right of the road is Queen's Road Cemetery. The "new" wall was built to replace the one destroyed, by falling trees, during the "Great Storm" of 1987.
