A typical street in 'The Village'.Many of the houses have no rear access for refuse collection, so wheelie bins have to be left outside the front doors. Beyond the mini roundabout (not immediately obvious in the photo), is Rookes Crescent (TL6905), which is not actually a crescent. The streets are named after Colonel Rookes Evelyn Bell Crompton, whose factory once stood on this site.
