The parked car made a good-perspective photograph difficult, but it can be seen in the background that April Close turns to the left, more or less parallel with the main Poole Lane where we stand. The houses take a direct line from one road to the other, and it is my strong suspicion that April Close is in fact the original line of Poole Lane. Historical maps suggest that the current line of Poole Lane has been extant since the 1940s. This is photo no.13 of a series of 451 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.
