The southern end of Armstrong Close viewed from Churchward Drive, to the east of Hawksworth Grove. The three streets are named after Chief Mechanical Engineers (CME) of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Joseph Armstrong (1816-1877) was the GWR's Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Superintendent, (the equivalent of the 20th century post of CME) from 1864-1877. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2549431 for details of the other two men.
