Housing in Carterton
The new meets the older; to the left is a 'sink estate' to the right is newly built modern detached houses. In between is a culvert, and a young plantation of very thorny dense-growing species. When the plants grow into a thick screening hedge, the separation between the two estates should be complete.

Footpath to Northwood Crescent, Carterton, Oxon
This footpath links the Shilton Park housing estate to Northwood Crescent and nearby sports and medical facilities. The railings are in place because there is actually a bridge here crossing a small stream or watercourse.

Hardstanding, Raynham Close, Carterton, Oxon
The hardstanding is a spur off the end of Raynham Close. It served a block of garages used by the occupiers of the RAF housing in the close. Both housing and garage block have now gone but the hardstanding now provides access to the electricity substation built on the site of the garages. This is on the right behind the grey railings.

Marigold Square, Shilton Park, Carterton, Oxon
A view of part of the large Marigold Square. It serves as the focal point for the Shilton Park Estate, on the northern side of the town. The square includes a few shops, including a Co-op convenience store, and other businesses. Carterton Community Centre is also here, although it cannot be seen in this view. Most of the square, however, consists of residential apartments.
