Somermead was the scene of a party. Noting the Queen's recent Platinum Jubilee and the associated street parties that were thrown, this humble road section still has some history in it. During the Silver Jubilee, back in 1977, this road was closed for a party and it was thought a good idea to paint the kerbstones in red, white and blue. The council were not impressed but the red paint remains here after 45 years of the same reign.
