Only one hoop to aim at
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 21 May 2014
The small and narrow spit of land at the divergence of Draycott Road is home to a single basketball hoop. The road where this was taken from only came into being during the 1960s, whereas the road to the left around the court is much older. Previously this area boasted silk and brush factories, as well as the historic priory, convent and Sale's House, some of which remain in the background.
