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?

The traffic lights at the junction to Newmarket Road are just visible on the right.
The building has a very odd roof.

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?)

Junction of Western Way and Newmarket Road.
The Minden Rose public house is on the right. The premises on the left have a recent new occupant, having been owned for many years by the industrial vacuum cleaner maker Nilfisk.
At one time Newmarket Road was on the main East-West route of East Anglia, now replaced by the A14. The junction recently gained the enormous yellow hatched box which would virtually stop traffic flow if anyone took any notice of it.
