Ensbury Park: Newbury Drive
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 14 Apr 2020
A very short road within the mid-70s Slades Farm council estate, comprising terraces of narrow houses on each side, stretching much further than the roadway and with a grass square making up the difference (beyond the green campervan). When the estate first appeared on local street maps, only its 'parent' road, Hibberd Way, was named, and I wonder whether the intention initially was that these houses be numbered in that road, rather than as a separate road. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. This is photo no.289 of a series of 453 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.
