A more ring-like bit of a Canterbury ring road system. A bridge over one strand of the Great Stour is just ahead. Some maps label this stretch as the A290.

"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.

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.

Bull sculpture, Tannery Field, Canterbury
Designed to reflect the industrial and agricultural heritage of the landscape, the Canterbury Bull was commissioned by Westgate Parks officer Anna Bell and paid for with Heritage Lottery Funding. It is made from old railway track by Steven Portchmouth. Tannery Field is the green space between Rheims Way and the river, opposite the Old Tannery housing development. Long before Rheims Way was built the area was part of the city’s largest tannery, hence the name.

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.
