The rear of houses in Silver Birch Avenue can be seen in the background. This area has changed significantly in the last twenty years. Up until the early 1970's there was just farmland, crossed by the branch railway to Newdigate Colliery. This ran on the near side of the boundary hedge to the properties in Silver Birch Avenue, which were built in the 1970's and 80's. The land in the foreground of the photo contained some railway sidings. The lake was not created until about 2000 as part of the new housing development adjacent which was built c.2000-2005. Virtually all the landscaping seen in this photo has grown up within the last 10 years.
