Beckhampton Road traverses Bestwood Park estate basically from north to south, but winds around so much on the way that this view was taken facing almost due west. The housing on the right, including some bungalows, is typical of this part of the estate, which was built in the 1950s if memory serves. The flats on the left are of more recent construction, and probably date from the same period as the shopping precinct immediately to their east (see Image).
