West Howe: Draper Road
Looking along Draper Road from its northern end, on Moore Avenue. It is in the heart of the large West Howe 1950s council estate - one half of a typical council semi is in the background along with a more modern bungalow. 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.114 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.

West Howe: April Close
The parked car made a good-perspective photograph difficult, but it can be seen in the background that April Close turns to the left, more or less parallel with the main Poole Lane where we stand. The houses take a direct line from one road to the other, and it is my strong suspicion that April Close is in fact the original line of Poole Lane. Historical maps suggest that the current line of Poole Lane has been extant since the 1940s. This is photo no.13 of a series of 451 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.

West Howe: this segment of footpath U28 is called Osprey Lane
Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one is named Osprey Lane because the neighbouring houses, on the left, are built on the site of the Osprey pub which was demolished in the mid-1990s. See Image for the view towards us from midway along the alley, with links to further photos on the path.
