Eric Avenue
The roundabout at the end of Eric Avenue, with an old style street lamp on it.
The Reading street map calls this Watership Down although that isn't on any other map.
Any idea who Eric was?
Update, 15/11/12 :- Many thanks to Nick Wright for mailing the following, which solves the Eric mystery and sheds some light on the Watership Down puzzle.
"I saw your image and comment on Eric Avenue. According to an elderly neighbour (unfortunately now deceased) who had lived in Eric Avenue since the houses were built, Eric was the name of the builder. And Watership Down is almost certainly the name of one of the houses on the roundabout before you get to Gorselands. There are lots of fake rabbits in their front garden!"
That's wonderful, and thinking about it, who better to name a street after than the man who built it? We should have more Fred Streets and Wladyslaw Crescents.

He could hit this ball right out of the county
The golfer taking the putt is standing on the 5th green in Oxfordshire but behind the photographer lies Berkshire. The 5th hole is a beautiful downhill par 4 of 325 yards. It's the easiest on the course. Behind the fence and up the steep sides of Highdown Bottom is the par 3, 6th hole. Just 136 yards but a challenging shot to the green, which is well protected by bunkers S.I. 16.
