Yeomans Road is one of the main routes to the vast 1980s Muscliff housing estate, and here it reaches a roundabout with the estate to the left. An industrial estate is to the right, behind the Castlepoint shopping centre. Meanwhile, Yeomans Road continues ahead as a gravel road, and a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - leading to Throop Road. See Image for the view along the gravel road from the other side of the roundabout, and links to further photos on the route.

Yeomans Road is one of the original tracks in the Throop area. Today, the southern segment is one of the main roads onto the modern housing estate, but its northern section is still a gravel road. The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view as it enters suburbia at its southern end. The opening onto the roundabout here is slightly at odds with the straight course of Yeomans Road on both sides of it - the distant lamppost far-left demonstrates the tarmac continuation of the road. The bus is heading round the roundabout to the Yeomans Way industrial estate, where the town's bus depot is situated.

The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view from the fringe of the modern development. To the right is the back of the Castlepoint shopping centre, with Yeomans Way leading to an industrial estate behind it. See Image for a wider view across the roundabout just to our right, and Image for the view towards us from along the gravel road - and links to further photos along the route.

The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view north as it enters the properly rural parts and reaches the first of several properties on either side.

The sun disappears behind a low cloud for the last time of the day, behind Boot’s the Chemists in Castlepoint shopping centre.

The Hampshire Centre was opened in 1968 and was thus a very early example of an out-of-town shopping centre. This clock was installed towards the latter end of the centre's life. It was closed and demolished in the late 1990s and in its place was built Image

The car park at Image is today being used only by a few young skateboarders. The reason for this unlikely emptiness is that today is Easter Day – see Image

Castlepoint is a bust retail park with various shopping facilities

In this nighttime view of Image shopping centre, the line of metal posts, lit by my car headlights, leads the eye to the main entrance of Marks & Spencer, the centre's anchor store situated on the join of the south and east wings.
