Springtime on the Gaer Estate, Newport
This estate was built on a hilly area on the western edge of Newport. As can be seen in this view, terraces were created to accommodate a number of the roads.
It was one of the first estates built in Newport after the Second World War. All of the streets are named after writers. A Festival of Britain award was received for the design of the estate and a plaque commemorating this is displayed on one of the houses http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/621751 .
Dandelions and cuckooflowers http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5757011 are in the foreground.
The grass here has been left unmown as part of Newport's Bee Friendly initiative.

Steep slope on the east side of Dickens Drive, Gaer, Newport
For three-quarters of its length, there are no houses on the east side of Dickens Drive because the land drops away steeply towards Masefield Vale. Only at its western end, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1706510 beyond Ruskin Rise, are there houses on both sides.
The tall building in the background is Hillview. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1515795

Drinkwater Close, Gaer, Newport
Bungalows on the south side of the Close, viewed from Drinkwater Gardens.
For over 50 years, until the early years of the 21st century, there were dozens of prefabs (prefabricated bungalows) in this part of the Gaer Estate. They were erected to meet the severe housing shortage in Newport after the Second World War. Modern bungalows, such as those seen here, replaced the prefabs.
