Bonjour tristesse! The green on Geraldsfield Road is part of a much larger band of public open space than extends in a U shape, crossing East Meadway, which runs across the foreground of the picture. Behind the photographer it extends around Sheldon Hall Avenue, in front along Geraldsfield Road and Shirestone Road. These 1950s council estates were built to a very low density by 21st century British standards, with large expanses of green, though there is also a some high rise housing on Shirestone Road.
