Dead end from new roundabout
Thistle Hill Way has been completed with several small roundabouts along it, presumably for access to the planned housing developments not yet built. This branch off a roundabout is a bit of a puzzle, leading as it does to an area currently used as recreational land and including a lake but I guess they will need access for tidying it up (I hope) and maintenance.

Lake behind new development on Plover Road
This lake is on the land accessed from Image There is also a footpath behind the photographer which runs from Parish Road (houses on the right) and Scocles Road. The whole area is under development with roads not yet mapped but I imagine this will remain as a recreational area. Image is the building on the left.

Looking east from Fleetwood Close
Towards an overgrown hedge which marks the former trackbed of The Sheppey Light Railway. According to http://www.sheppeywebsite.co.uk/index.php?id=95 the railway opened on 1 August 1901 and closed on 4 December 1950. The total length was 8 miles 52 chains. It ran from Queenborough (where there was a north-facing bay platform on the east side of the station) to Leysdown with intermediate stations at Sheerness East, East Minster-on-Sea (which was actually west of Minster), Minster-on-Sea (they're only given as Minster in the link), Brambledown Halt, Eastchurch and Harty Road Halt. Today, one can trace most of the route from the air and on the Ordnance Survey map (Explorer 149). On the ground, one can find sections overgrown with grass, brambles and trees (as here), sections built over, sections concreted over to form a permanent way or landscaped to form paths for pedestrians.
