Contaminated water - keep clear, Masefield Vale, Gaer, Newport
Viewed from the corner of Shakespeare Crescent. At first glance, the trees on the side of Masefield Vale suggest a pleasant 'green lung' in the middle of the Gaer housing estate. But a notice warns
CONTAMINATED WATER - KEEP CLEAR. The water is in a small brook, shown on the Ordnance Survey map as an 'issue', draining the higher ground on the west side of Masefield Vale. I do not know when or how the water was contaminated.

Western end of Dickens Drive, Gaer, Newport
For most of its length, steep terrain means that there are no houses on the eastern side of Dickens Drive. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1706501
Only the section west of Ruskin Rise has houses on both sides. These are on the east side, viewed from Shakespeare Crescent.

Fortress-like structure, Masefield Vale, Newport
Halfway along Masefield Vale, on the east side, is the fortress-like structure protecting the edge of a property in Drinkwater Close. It is a retaining wall to prevent land slippage on the steep slope.
