Strouden: start of the gravel section of Yeomans Road

Yeomans Road is one of the original tracks in the Throop area. Today, the southern segment is one of the main roads onto the modern housing estate, but its northern section is still a gravel road. The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view as it enters suburbia at its southern end. The opening onto the roundabout here is slightly at odds with the straight course of Yeomans Road on both sides of it - the distant lamppost far-left demonstrates the tarmac continuation of the road. The bus is heading round the roundabout to the Yeomans Way industrial estate, where the town's bus depot is situated. See Image for the view towards us, and Image for the next view along Yeomans Road behind us - and links to further photos along the route.
