Bungalows on the south side of Stafford Avenue
These bungalows all back onto the Wesley Brook, and many have needed to be shored up or even underpinned over the years as the valley consists of rather damp ground in places.

Wesley Brook
The brook emerges from the private domain again to pass under a substantial stone bridge bearing a footpath that connects Tanglewood Close on the left bank with Stafford Avenue on the right. We're looking upstream here, so left is right and vice versa, OK?

Corner of Brimstree Drive and Applebrook
The other end of Brimstree Drive near Park Lane was here when we moved to the area in the late 1960s, although it would have been quite recently built at that time. This end, with Applebrook was developed in the late 1970s, possibly early '80s.

Stafford Avenue joins Wesley Crescent
A well established early 1960s housing development. I grew up here, and spent a childhood riding around these roads and paths on an assortment of bikes with my two brothers. How we never knocked anyone off is a mystery; we did however fall off plenty ourselves, and I still have a couple of scars to prove it 50 years later.

Houses on Stafford Avenue
Built in the early 1960s, these houses form part of an estate that was built on land once owned by the Lord Stafford.

Houses on the corner of Vicarage Drive and Wesley Crescent
My father bought the house on the right (with the Land Rover & Volvo parked in front) in 1969 for the princely sum of £6000 or so. He added a second garage to it, and the original garage has since been converted to a playroom or similar by subsequent owners. We won't see house prices like that again.
