Throop: byway K23 from Chesildene Avenue

This straight path, along with the modern-day stretch of road continuing at the far end, was one of the original tracks when Throop was a rural area. In the 1980s the vast housing estate was built and the first stretch of Chesildene Drive was borrowed, but it then swings around to the north while still carrying the name. Just here we look at it actually from Chesilbourne Grove, a cul-de-sac off Chesildene Avenue which is just to our left, and similarly continues behind us a short way on the original course of the track. The path is still designated as a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.), number K23, although its extent has been truncated at both ends as described above.
