Cul-de-sac off Burgh Heath Road. These houses first appear on the 1895-6 1:2500 map on a road marked as Beach Road, with development only shown at this, the Burgh Heath Road end of the road. It is only in the 1934 1:2,500 map, with further development having taken place (see Image) that the current name, Beech Road, appears.

Two pairs of semi-detached cottages in Burgh Heath Road, dating from around the turn of the 19th/20th Centuries.

The sleepers placed across the bridleway here cover a sump or catch-pit, which is designed to intercept excess rainwater descending the path: during wet weather, the volume of water draining into Treadwell Road below could otherwise contribute to flooding of nearby homes.

Private road off Burgh Heath Road. Some of the cottages are shown on the 1871 1:10,560 map, marked as Down Cottages. The 1895-6 1:2500 map was largely unchanged, with the addition of only a few additional cottages, but by then they were named Carter's Cottages. By the time of the 1913 1:2,500 map, development was complete, but still with the name Carter's Cottages. The name Carter's Road first appears on the 1934 1:2,500 map.

Road off Burgh Heath Road shown on the 1895-6 1:2,500 map as Loop Road without any development. However the 1913 map shows some building, including the terraced housing just visible on the left hand side of the road.

Looking up Rifle Butts Alley from near the catch-pit Image, following the improvement works in early 2022. The path has now been restored to its original width between the fence and the railings on the left-hand side.
