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: 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.
