Asda will be one short
A traditional sight: a shopping trolley in a drainage ditch. Back in the 1950s this was part of Whitchurch Airport - one of very few airports to remain open to non-military transport in WWII.

Filwood Green Business Park
Built in 2015, the facility incorporates the latest in green and environmentally-focussed thinking. It has solar panelling, earthen roof sections that grow wildlife-friendly plants, air circulation and heating systems, electric car charging points and has been awarded BREEAM accreditation. Inside, the furniture is mainly recycled from materials once used in the Council chambers and remade by a local charity workshop.

Bare berms
A small area in the old airport grounds has been given over to the local youths. It is not clear if it will be retained when the area is developed for housing in the near future.

A temporary pond?
This part of ground behind Filwood Green Business Park is awaiting a bit more attention. Plans are at hand for a housing development, although a pond seems unlikely here. In fact, the collected waters are on what used to be a large hangar and apron from the days of the old Whitchurch airport.
Perhaps the small brick edifices are for some sort of information point when complete.

Snow on the Building Site
This large construction site is just north of the A4174 Hengrove Way close to its junction with Creswicke Rd. Taken from one of the houses in Creswicke Rd backing on to the construction site which used to be playing fields.

Greenery at the Green
The modern offices and business park looks onto the Airport Road, with a section of the front given over to some suitably wild flowers and shrubs - such is the outlook of modern architectural and environmental thinking. The building itself carries the latest in green energy use and conservation, as seen by the louvred panels and air circulation units that replace conventional air-conditioning systems.

Bikes and a bite
Filwood Green Business Park was carefully designed with a communal outdoor area for casual meetings and fresh air. Bike stands and electric vehicle charging points add to the environmental considerations.

A bench of bits
Some of the public furniture in the development of the old Whitchurch Airport seems to be made of lots of little pieces, all bolted together and bent at the ends.
