Bo Klok on the Brook
A long strip of grassland runs beside the brook through this part of Knowle, also marking what became the Airport Road. Having missed the large housing development after WWI, the land has finally been allotted housing development of its own. The developers are a partnership between Skanska and IKEA, and are building a large number of high-density homes for various sorts of owners.

Appealing to future buyers
The new houses going up on Airport Road have long hoardings. In one particular spot, the boards are covered with contributions from local primary schoolchildren. Quite what the developers expect from the coloured in drawings in open to speculation. Maybe they will be customers of the next generations.

Investing in the community
The new homes are being snapped up, despite the amounts of money and lack of car parking. Still, the environment is being acknowledged in the build.

A bit of green on the old farm
This small but open public space was Hengrove Farm, and the area here north-west from the buildings was a quarry.

A small matter of a limestone block
It may seem out of place but this block is a small reminder of the fact that this patch of green was once a quarry.

A new pond for the new business park
The Filwood Green Business Park is a pretty recent addition to the area. Previously this was the northern end of Whitchurch Airport, which saw vital service in WWII before being closed in the late 1950s. There is a brook that runs across the Airport Road but this pond is part of the latest landscaping; the buildings occupy the site of one of the hangars.

Where the trolleys come to roost
The patch of woodland on the old Hengrove Farm quarry site seems to be a breeding ground for them.
