Tarling Road as seen in July 2013, looking toward Oak Lane and the Grange Estate beyond. On the right is a housing development which was built in 1998-1999 on the site of the former Simms/Lucas CAV factory whose machinery could be heard clunking away as I walked past there en route to Squire's Lane swimming pool (since demolished) every week via the Font Hills estate, as a child during the 1980s. On the left is the site of the Old Barn, a community centre and open space which had a BMX/dirt-bike track consisting of a series of hills and ditches. Every year they used to have a fireworks display here on Bonfire Night.
