c1960s/70s social housing. Proposals are in place to replace the current buildings with a new affordable rent and shared ownership housing development.

Looking down Park Rise, a road originally developed in 1906, following the filling in of a pond, Bradmere Pond, at its bottom end.

Early 20th Century housing in Upper Fairfield Road. A date plaque on the far terrace gives a date of 1905.

2017 rebuild of a late 19th Century building on the corner of Fairfield Road and Upper Fairfield Road. The previous building was a social club, itself formed out of a large Victorian house of the same name (which maps suggest dated originally from the mid 19th Century or earlier). Photos and planning documents suggest that the present building largely mimics the design of the original.

Road originally developed in 1906, following the filling in of a pond, Bradmere Pond. Old maps show the centre of the pond to have been at this junction, with Kingston Road (in the foreground) a relatively narrow track, and it seems that its removal was needed to allow the road to be widened. Originally only the top end of Park Rise was developed, with the rest following in the mid 20th Century. Hill Rise Court, on the left, was a 2002 subsequent redevelopment of the corner site.
