Vent pipe on Stockwood Road
The suburb was created in the 1950/60s but this vent pipe looks like it is a lot older and has been resited.

A modern defensive ditch
Whitchurch Green is a patch of open grassland at the end of Stockwood Road, which had recently been invaded by travellers. In order to deter them using the space again (and leaving lots of rubbish), the council have dug a small ditch and ramparts around the edge of the area. This sort of technique has not been seen in this part of the world since possibly the Iron Age. The ditch is about a couple of feet deep. Note the fact that the grass was recently mown by the same council. Also note the bus stop: the hardstanding area is isolated, with the only non-grass approach entailing crossing the road.

Goslet Road stops
The road stops with some rather abrupt barriers. Perhaps the original plan when the place was designed in the 1950s and 50s was to extend it to the crossroads.

A post holder?
The small patch of green at the top of Stockwood Road was once the site of Whitchurch Green Farm over a century ago. Among the shrubs and paths are little reminders - this stone in the ground appears to have a socket in it, perhaps for a post.

An unusual Easter
It's Easter Monday, 2020, but the Covid-19 lockdown means that there is no-one in the church. A Union Flag flies in the face of the impositions.

A farm now lost
This part of the old Whitchurch Green area was actually the site of Whitchurch Green Farm. It disappeared from the maps in the early 1960s, about the time that Stockwood was being created. The boulder and small ditch/rampart are designed to prevent ingress by travellers.
