Houses on the west side of The Close, viewed from the corner of Fields Road. The Close is not a close, as it is connected to Fields Road and The Highway. It may be that the local street naming department had an uninspired day when naming The Close and The Highway. Another possibility is that these were the original streets in Oakfield when all else around was undeveloped. That was the case in New Inn, where the first streets named were The Highway http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1666569 and The Avenue. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1666551
