A corner of the Westley estate
Named after the nearest village and the airfield that occupied this site, the Westley estate was built starting in the 1950s.
The footpath on the left goes to Westley, and was repositioned off the airfield in the 1930s.

Footpath to Westley
The Bury St. Edmunds end of a footpath to Westley village. This first section is tarmac surfaced and marked into a footpath by the stick man, and a bicycle lane, the symbol for which is hidden on the left. The purpose of the cycle lane is not clear as this path eventually turns into a rough footpath on which cycling is presumably not allowed. The fence on the left keeps intruders out of the middle school, while on the right there is another footpath at the back of the Westley estate houses. Why two side by side paths?

Ex airfield and edge of housing estate
It is clear why this very flat field was chosen for the pre-war Westley airfield. In the distance we see the backs of the houses in Oliver Road, built on the eastern part of the airfield site.

Western Way West
This little stub off the main part of Western Way houses a dairy at the end of the road, the former Miro Press printers and a company that puts the glossy lamination on cardboard products (remember LP sleeves?)

School sandpit and field
A rear view of the Westley Middle School, featuring the field and sandpit. On the left (north) we also see a few houses of the Westley estate. The hedge on the right marks the back of the more up-market properties in Westley Road, some of which were on the receiving end of crashing aircraft when the airfield was operating.
Somewhere out here there was the underground bunker of an observation post from WW2 to at least the 1970s but I did not spot any sign of it.
