Bungalows north of the main part of Silvermere Park estate
A small 'loop road' off the main route; most of the estate was built in the late 1960s or thereabouts, although a few properties have been added or redeveloped in the meantime.

East along Silvermere Park
This 1960s housing development is named after the narrow lake which lies just behind the gardens of the houses on the right. It's marked on the map of 1901/1902 as 'fishpond' but is nowadays little more than a shallow pool, much reduced in size and length.

Small green space behind houses on Meadway
The dropped kerb rather suggests that this small plot may once have been earmarked for a house, but it's never happened yet in 30-odd years. I suspect the surrounding residents look after the trees, grass and shrubs.

Houses on Meadway
1970s/1980s housing on the Meadway part of Silvermere Park estate. It's a very quiet part of town, aside from the occasional rumble of a train on the embankment in the trees behind the houses on the left.

Houses at the eastern end of The Grove
The houses and flats here were built around 2000 on the site of the one-time squash club and swimming pool; although it was a private club, the membership was very reasonably priced, and sadly the well-used facilities have never really been replaced in the town since.
