Baron's Road and "The Greens"

Taken from a model aircraft over Hardwick Heath, this photo reveals Hardwick Lane just visible at bottom right. Then the row of bungalows on the south side of Barons Road. To the north there are a series of looped roads, each called "Xxxx Green" - you can see the grass and trees in the centre of each. The building site behind used to be an industrial estate based round the Victorian Hand Laundry - this is now becoming a housing estate. Cullum Road slices across the water meadows (controversial when it was built) then curves off into the town top left, with the medieval rectangular grid pattern just visible in the haze. The setting sun highlights the Abbey, Cathedral and St. Mary's church in the same road, at about 11 o'clock on the frame.
