West Howe: small playpark alongside Turbary Park Avenue
A small playing field, with short, sturdy metal goalposts, and a well-equipped, fully cordoned children's play area in the background. Turbary Park Avenue runs along the left-hand side, while there are three entrances to the park: from Mandale Road (in the distance), Kimber Road (behind us) and Frost Road (through a wide gap in the houses to the left).
We visit it now on a drizzly summer's evening at about 8:30; little surprise that it isn't busy!

West Howe: Turbary Park Avenue
A long, busy road separating the vast West Howe council housing estate to the north (left) and Turbary Common to the south. Immediately beyond the turning in the foreground is a children's playpark.
As I pulled up here, the sun was shining brightly and it was also raining quite heavily - hence the rather vivid rainbow with a faint double one on its outside.

West Howe: Mandale Road meets Turbary Park Avenue
We look along the western end of Turbary Park Avenue, where Mandale Road comes out from the large council estate of West Howe. Apart from Turbary Park Avenue (which is named after Turbary Common alongside) and the other original thoroughfares, the roads on the West Howe estate are named after local heroes from the Second World War.

West Howe: Hall Road
Hall Road is on the western edge of the large, 1950s West Howe council estate and is also at the very edge of my 2km radius from home: my circumference line cuts through the road perhaps a little over halfway down from this end.
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.

Pottery Woods, Turbary Common
Pottery Woods is a narrow strip of woodland, hemmed in by housing to the east & an industrial estate to the west, which leads to the common proper. It apparently used to be allotments; this would account for there being no mature trees.

West Howe: postbox № BH11 139, Gladdis Road
Gladdis Road is on the western side of the large council estate called West Howe, whose roads are named after war heroes (including Pilot Hight Road a short distance away, which unusually gives his occupation as well as his surname).
