Holtspur: The youth centre
The youth centre is in the north-west corner of the playing field on Holtspur Way. The photographer has unintentionally managed to set up the image so that only three facades of the octagonal structure are visible!

Holtspur: The Church of St Thomas
With the post-war spread of Beaconsfield and the swallowing up of the hamlet of Holtspur the need for a church was perceived as urgent and a structure was first built here, on Mayflower Way, for that purpose in 1949. The present-day church building seen here dates from 1961. The site was once inside the curtilage of the old brick works that extended southwards to the road between London and Oxford.
(Photographer's note. No amount of digital manipulation will turn this photo into anything worth looking at! It's the wrong view at the wrong time of day and in the worst lighting conditions. Apologies but at the time of writing it is the only photo of the church on the website.)

Holtspur: The Beacon Sports Centre and Theatre
Please see http://www.better.org.uk/leisure/the-beacon-sports-centre-and-theatre for the Centre's website. According to the website the theatre "has 209 seats, is fully equipped, and is available to hire by both amateur and professional theatre groups. It is also ideal for organisations wishing to hold conferences and seminars."
Looking at old Ordnance Survey maps the centre was built on the site of the original Holtspur County Primary School, of which Sir Terry Pratchett was once a pupil. Please see this news article on the Bucks Free Press website which also has an oblique aerial photograph of the school, probably taken shortly after its opening in 1951 http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/9007012.Terry_Pratchett_writes_in_to_his_first_school_for_its_60th_birthday/ .
