Carrington Cottages
Clearly originally intended for workers at the adjacent Carrington Farm, they have now been effectively incorporated into the main built-up development of Calverton, seen in the background. Older maps name them as Carrington Houses.

Broadfields
The name applies to the whole of this development to the north of Park Road East, with quite a network of roads sharing the same name. Apparently the name was intended to be Broomfields, as this shrub was prolific in the area before development; the actual name was the result of a typing error.

On the prowl
A ginger cat on Carrington Lane. This lane has retained its agricultural nature despite being on the edge of the urban development of the village.

The green at Wood Grove
Part of the development of Calverton as a mining village in the 1950s. Originally this bit of open space looked out across agricultural land, behind the photographer.

South end of Carrington Lane, Calverton
At this point, Carrington Lane (left) meets Crookdole Lane, which leads into Calverton proper to the west, but continues east from here as a track (right), which is shared for some distance by a public footpath, hence the sign.

Park Road East
This marked the edge of the expansion of Calverton as a colliery village in the 1950s. The housing to the right is clearly publicly funded development (in this instance NCB), with 1970s private development on the left.
