Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one has been named Spitfire Walk, no doubt a nod to the fact that the estate's roads are all surnames of servicemen from the Second World War with a local connection. (See also Image) This footpath leads down from Pilot Hight Road and comes out on Moore Avenue just ahead. Opposite is the turning for Cunningham Place, leading to Cunningham Crescent which is the centre of the estate, with shops, library etc. See Image for the view up the path from the pavement ahead, and Image for the view from the top end behind us.
