Looking south towards Whitefields Estate and Catterick Garrison, from Ronaldshay Drive, Richmond, North Yorkshire
Ronaldshay Drive had been built in the early 1960's. More houses were then being built on the fields of Whitefields Farm, but in 1971 at the western side only, to the right. The bounds of Richmond were beside the line of trees to the far left. The eastern side of the farm has since been built up, covering most of the green space heading towards the tree line. The field immediately behind this viewpoint has also been developed.
In these days my boss lived in a bungalow, the last house heading out of Richmond on the Darlington Road. The garden seems to have been sold off and more houses have gone in there - that too just within the Richmond bounds.
Catterick Garrison is just visible in the far distance right. That has grown substantially in the last 40 years and is now one of the biggest military bases in Europe. The growth of the army base and the growth of Richmond are not unrelated. Many soldiers buy houses in the area for when they leave the army, and many civilian jobs are created to help service the army personnel and their families.

St. Francis Xavier school, Richmond
Locally known merely as "SFX" it is one of a cluster of schools on the east side of Richmond which certainly do produce sound effects...

Cross Lanes and Cross Lanes Store
Cross Lanes is an ancient track running from St Nicholas on the Brompton road to Pilmoor Hill on the Gilling West road. Until the early sixties it lay in open countryside until residential development was begun by Shepherd Homes. Cross Lanes Store is the only none residence other than schools in the development. Bizarrely there are no public houses at this end of the town.

Boundary post, Richmond
The boundary post is beside the A6271.
The most common surviving boundary marks, often taking the form of carved stones, were put up during the 19th century when parish boundaries were re-drawn. Some have the initials of adjacent parishes carved on the appropriate sides. Others consist of metal posts, or old cannon bought from the army and filled with cement; later versions were specially cast in the shape of cannon.
