The northernmost road in the almost symmetrical Davis Estate (unlike most of the roads in the estate, its southern equivalent is lightly different in shape, as can be seen from maps).

Part of the 1930s Davis Estate. The footpath seen here leads to Dymchurch Close, and is a remnant of an old path from Green Street Green to Tubbenden Lane which has survived in sections as the area was built up.

A look at a map of this area, known as the Davis Estate after its builders, shows the symmetry of design. Even the road names are symmetrical. Northlands Avenue, shown here at its junction with Borkwood Way, Tubbenden Drive and Fairview Drive has a mirror road called Southlands Avenue.

This is the central oval green in the symmetrical Davis Estate, so called after its builder, which was developed either side of the Second World War.

Daughter church of St Giles the Abbot, Farnborough (see Image), built to serve the housing in the area that had been developed pre and post war. Work started in December 1957 and it was opened in June 1958. The structure was a prefabricated building from Rema Ltd of Salisbury. Initially known as the "New Church Hall", it was not named as St Nicholas's until 1967, to mark the 10th anniversary of the commencement of construction. The name was chosen partly because of St Nicholas's association with children, who made up a large proportion of the users of the building at the time, and also because St Nicholas's Day, 6 December, fell very close to the actual anniversary, 8 December!

The Davis Estate, so called after its builders, was developed either side of the Second World War. This section was built after the war.

A road whose development started just before the Second World War and completed after it. It runs down to Tubbenden Lane.

Part of the 1970s development of an area of open land between the former Borkwood Park School and Leamington Avenue.
