Chelmsley Wood could perhaps be described as a new town rather than a housing estate; after all, it is sufficiently large to have its own town centre. These tower blocks (Dillington House in the foreground, with Chestnut House behind) are located on the eastern side of Chelmsley Circle, the road that encircled the town centre until its recent redevelopment removed its western side. The remaining section of the road is heavily used by buses serving Chelmsley Wood town centre, hence the row of bus shelters.
