This small estate was developed, controversially, on the home ground of a local football team, Leamington Brakes. They were sponsored by major local employer Lockheed Hydraulic Brakes (later known as Automotive Products or AP) and remembered in the name Lockheed Close, behind the camera. Brakesmead is a turning off Culworth Close, centre.
