Churchill Estate, Helensburgh

When first handed over to the Navy in 1969, the houses of Churchill Estate provided "married quarters for men of the Polaris Force and the Clyde Submarine Base" ["The Naval Review", Vol LVII, No 4, October 1969]. See Image for another part of the estate. The street names are naval in character: Nelson Place, Jellicoe Place, Rodney Place, and so on. The present picture shows Winston Road, which runs round the outside of Churchill Estate (those names also fit the naval theme: Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911).
