An 'Exquisite development'
This new housing in Sowerby on the SE fringe of Thirsk is described thus on the advertising hoardings that line the roadside. Just a few months ago this area was green fields on the edge of a small market town, but now this huge apartment block has appeared together with some small bungalows which are dwarfed by comparison. Topcliffe Road has been re-aligned with two new roundabouts, but the old oak tree has been spared, although it is now so close to the roadway that one wonders if its roots have been damaged, whilst it seems only a matter of time before a vehicle runs off the road and collides with it.

New housing development, Sowerby
Areas to either side of Topcliffe Road in Sowerby on the edge of Thirsk are undergoing extensive housing and commercial development. On the west side of the road is a rapidly growing housing estate full of uninspiring designs, and many with 'slate' roofing in an area which traditionally has pantiled roofs.

Gravel Hole Lane, Sowerby
'Welcome to Sowerby' is the message on the sign, yet many people would assume that this is Thirsk, particularly as Thirsk Comprehensive School is just to the left of the road. Much of the south east part of Thirsk is actually in the parish of Sowerby.

Premier Inn, Thirsk
The Thirsk Premier Inn [which is actually in Sowerby] opened in February 2017 and is part of the rapid development either side of Topcliffe Road. The design looks to be the same as a hundred other Premier Inns. In the background can be seen the steel skeleton of another large building under construction, local gossip suggesting that it may be a new ALDI supermarket.
