Eldred Avenue, Westdene
The road had been laid out in the early 1930s though the building of houses only slowly developed through that decade and mainly on the western side. Much of the rest, including the shops on the eastern side, was only added with the rest of the estate through the 1950s. The parade of shops includes the post office, a small general store, a butcher, delicatessen, pharmacy and Chinese takeaway.

Wooden Pavilion, Westdene
Built as a home to the bowling clubs that used to use
Image and now used as a local community centre. The flint walls that surround a small playground give a clue to its former use as a barn. Newmans Barn as it was known was once the only building located in the valley and initially survived the early development of the suburb during the 1930s but was finally knocked down in the early 1960s.
