The ruination of a perfectly good back garden
This used to be a beautiful back garden with trees and shrubs belonging to one of the cottages on Gillar Drive, until some builders got their hands on it, seeing it not as a garden but as a building plot. The garden had no access, but they have been allowed to come down here and turn our peaceful little close into a building site. It's a disgrace.......

Our "non-existent" road !!
I have only just noticed that our little road, containing just 4 bungalows, appears to have been omitted from the Ordnance Survey map, but it IS here, I can assure you, and has been since 1960 !!!

The back garden becomes a building site...
This lovely back garden continues to be cleared, ready for a couple of large houses to be plonked on it...see Image for a previous view, taken on 27th August. Little do the greedy builders know that this garden is prone to flooding.....

The bridle path between Studholme Crescent and Winslow Close
This little footpath/bridle path runs alongside the little park, on the left, and the old farmhouse of Studholme Farm. The white cottages on the right are on Giller Drive, and are old farm workers' cottages. The big tree in the middle is a protected tree, of historical importance, and is home to many a magpie !!

Skew Bridge from Bee Lane
Skew Bridge is aptly named, twisting as it does, carrying Leyland Road over the West coast mainline at Farington Curve, Penwortham, Preston.
