This is the junction with Belgrave Road, out of shot right. The colourful Norway Maple, right of centre, and the big oak, right, are a sign of a maturing residential estate built on former countryside. A footpath emerges from the open space opposite and continues by the road, guarded by the (bashed) railing, while the hole in the hedge, left, speaks of a pedestrian desire line unrecognised by authority. The truncated hedge adds to the picture of a road junction that has been remodelled to increase capacity, imposing a safe way for people on foot, even perhaps as the result of an accident.
