Off Risley Drive
I don't have a map which actually shows what used to be on this site, but it may have been some sort of community facility. It is current being used to store the felled trees from the new tramway construction areas. There have been earmarked as raw materials for community projects including tree sculptures.

Hawthorn View, The Meadows
One of the few groups of houses which survived the demolition and replanning of the area in the 1970s. Dating from probably the 1930s, they were much more modern than the 19th century terraces which formed the bulk of the area.

Beardsley Gardens
Typical cul-de-sac in the Meadows. This provides rear access for motor traffic, with main frontages facing onto a series of pedestrian ways linking to the main local facilities. Main distributor roads run round the periphery of the housing. This is generally known as Radburn layout, based on the original development in this style in Radburn, New Jersey (USA). See Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radburn,_New_Jersey .
