A roughly triangular area of land is about a metre below road level. On the right are trees at the edge of a single-track railway line. Out of shot on the left is the junction of Wright Close and Kitty Hawk Drive.

Viewed from the edge of Kitty Hawk Drive, Wright Close is located in an area of housing on the south side of Somerton Road where street names have a 'pioneers of aviation' theme. Perhaps the most famous of the pioneers, the Wright brothers (Wilbur and Orville) made the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, on December 17, 1903.

Located in Reene Court. Since 1956, Abbeyfield has provided supported sheltered housing, and now has more than 700 housing locations in the UK. The housing is intended for those of pensionable age who no longer feel able to cope, or do not wish to live at home alone.

Located in an area of housing on the south side of Somerton Road where street names have a 'pioneers of aviation' theme. Kitty Hawk, a small town in North Carolina, became famous after the Wright brothers used a site 6km from the town to make their first controlled powered aeroplane flights on December 17, 1903. Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) achieved worldwide fame in 1927 after his solo non-stop flight from Long Island, New York to Le Bourget Field in Paris, a distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km), in the single-seat, single-engine monoplane Spirit of St. Louis.
