Distance
1
Lower Earley
Towards the east, and the older part of the huge Lower Earley expansion, the houses are smaller, still in leafy, sinuous culs-de-sac. Shops and services are scarce and residents are dependent on the car. This is still an area of very high house prices though.

Cannock Way, Earley
Turning off this road include Tamworth Close and Lichfield Close so there's an obvious theme in the naming. However, Elford Close goes off to the right here and most people will have to do a little research to find out that Elford is a just a village close to those towns. The name Sturbridge Close is a stranger choice since that seems to be named after a mere hamlet in Staffordshire, but some distance from the other places.

Carshalton Way, 1985
The junction with Cutbush Lane. The area was still very much in development at the time; today there is much more vegetation - private and public!

Beech Lane bus terminus, 1982
This was a temporary terminus during the development of housing in the area. The point is just to the east of the current junction of Rushey Way (the main road visible here) and Carshalton Way. Buses did not actually use the track in the foreground, there was a turning loop behind the bush to the right. The open area here is now covered with housing.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide
