Milton Keynes: West Coast Main Line
Massed ranks of gantries supporting the overhead power lines dominate the scene, viewed from the Spenlows Road footbridge. The tracks on the left, beyond the weedy siding, head towards the now-disused line to Bicester and Oxford, which is only currently in use as far as the Newton Longville landfill site. This track bypasses Bletchley station. For a view in the opposite direction please see

Bletchley: Mellish Court
Mellish Court dates back to the time when West Bletchley was a post-war London overspill estate, and Milton Keynes new town was a mere twinkle in the planners' eyes. With 136 flats arranged over 17 floors, and with an 18th ground level service floor, and with the Milton Keynes planners' current policy of sanctioning the construction of only low-rise new buildings, it is currently the highest building in the Borough of Milton Keynes, rising about 49 metres or about 160 feet above ground level. Inevitably therefore the roof is festooned with various telecommunications masts and aerials.

Strange Sculpture
An odd piece of decoration that's been on Sherwood Drive for as long as I remember. Found outside some offices and the entrance to Sherwood Drive Car Park.
