A short distance beyond this junction with Lansdowne Road, Gaer Road can be seen narrowing to a footpath. The footpath continues for about 100 metres southeastwards before widening into a road again at the far end of Lansdowne Road, to continue as Gaer Road down to Cardiff Road.

Drinkwater Gardens climbs away from Masefield Vale towards Gaer Road. For more than 50 years, until the early 21st century, dwellings along Drinkwater Gardens were prefabs (prefabricated bungalows). A total of 750 prefabs were erected in various parts of Newport to meet a severe housing shortage after the Second World War. The fencing on the left of the photo encloses a currently derelict area formerly occupied by prefabs. Elsewhere, modern bungalows have replaced the prefabs.
