It looks odd on the map and even odder when you visit: a suburban crescent of semi-detached houses, complete with green, built on a country lane, far from any town or its suburbs. The plain style of the semis suggests they were built as council housing. The western part of the green, to the left of this photo, has been enclosed to form some rather messy gardens. Fillongley is a parish of scattered settlements, typical of the 'ancient countryside' of Arden; Sandy Lane runs between the settlement grouped around Fillongley parish church and the hamlet of Wood End, to the east.
