At the junction of Gordon Road and Frenches Road.

A small 1970s estate with roads named after birds.

A small 1970s estate with roads named after birds - for example the road off to the left is Sparrows Mead.

Recent development of the former Foxboro Yoxall site, an instrument manufacturer which was based here from 1958 to 1991. After closure, the site remained derelict for many years, before development, partly as an industrial park and partly, in the late 2000s, for housing in an area named Park 25. The name St Anne's Boulevard refers to St Anne's, an imposing building dating from 1884, housing in turn a school, a hospital and finally a County Council run old people's home, which stood to the south of this site. It was demolished in 1987.

Prior to the 2005 completion of a new bridge on Ormside Way (see Image), this narrow and low bridge under the London-Brighton railway, turning straight from the residential Frenches Road (visible through the bridge) was the main road access into the Holmethorpe Industrial Estate - hardly suitable.

A unit on Holmethorpe Avenue, in the Holmethorpe Industrial Estate. The level crossing gate on the left is the only remaining evidence of the sidings that connected the British Industrial Sand works, now the site of the Watercolour development, with the London-Brighton railway, a link which operated until the mid 1980s.

1990s housing built on the site of a former playing field.

Part of The Assembly, a 2012 redevelopment of the former Frenches Road School - see Image for fuller picture. Note the entrance on the left marked "Boys"; the equivalent entrance for girls was directly below.
