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.

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.

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.
