New Housing, Canterbury
A whole new neighbourhood has been created to the west of the city centre between the Great Stour and the by-pass.
A lot of design variation and a non linear street plan has been used to avoid a "new estate" look.

Allotments, Canterbury, 1965
The allotments are no longer there - they have been built over with housing around the line of Old Watling Street, and the terraces on St Peter's Grove on the left now join onto the new estate. As with the allotments, I think wherever I was standing when I took this has also changed fundamentally - I suspect it is now Rheims Way. However, the cathedral is still there.

Great Stour seen from the Stour Valley Walk
The Great Stour splits into two branches at Bingley's Island just west of here on the other side of Rheims Way (A290) and passes through Canterbury before meeting up again near Vauxhall Lakes Nature Reserve. This view is from a footbridge which carries the Stour Valley Walk over the southern branch of the Great Stour. The flats on the left are in Tannery Way South.

"Bull" by Stephen Portchmouth, Westgate Parks, Canterbury
The sculpture, of which this is a detail, provides an interpretation linked to the past use of the site as a 'slub bank' for the disposal of waste from St Mildred's Tannery. Whilst creating the wildflower meadow at Tannery Field, part of the old Tannery Railway track was unearthed. This sculpture interprets this past history.
