Dog walkers behind the Parkhouse Estate
Several people were exercising their dogs on what is, at least in practice, public land behind the houses.

Open space behind the Parkhouse estate
A strip of green space was left between the housing and the A534 Sandbach Bypass (behind the trees to the right). I don't know whether it's technically a public open space but it appears to be used as such.

Urban footpath through the Parkhouse estate
The public right of way that ran across the land where the Parkhouse estate was built in the 1980s survives as a series of short urban footpaths like this.

Poppies alongside the Sandbach Bypass
They may have been introduced as part of a wildflower seed mix when the bypass was built, rather than being native to the area. Phase 1 of the new J One Seven housing development is seen in the background.

South-eastern corner of J One Seven, looking west
Part of the new J One Seven housing development. This short spur road is so new there is not even a name given for it on the site plan, or on the ground, yet.
Note - location is estimated from the development site plan, as the road is too new to be shown on public maps yet.

Path into Offley Wood
This path has been recently surfaced in stone, perhaps as part of a "Section 106" agreement relating to the nearby housing development.

Coronation bunting, Dorfold Close, Sandbach
The Coronation of Charles III was the previous day. If you look closely at the banners you will see they were not acquired specially for this occasion but are re-used from the Diamond Jubilee in 2012. I hope a King who supports recycling would not be offended.
