St Joseph's Church, Greenlands Avenue, Redditch B98
The Greenlands estate was the first to be developed by the Redditch Development Corporation, following the designation of the New Town in 1964. Plans for Greenlands had been drawn up in the 1950s by Redditch Council. It was completed in the early 1970s though this church is more recent. The view is of the back of the church from Greenlands Avenue.

Poplars and maples were among the fast-growing trees used in the landscaping of the New Town; many are now mature. Beside the footpath to the bus stop in Studley Road, the not-inelegant lighting column is number 9346.

Bus shelter, Throckmorton Road, Greenlands, Redditch

Being translucent, the colours glow and, on a practical security level, would reveal anyone hiding in or behind the shelter. Another view is
