SZ0794 : Ensbury Park: Newbury Drive

Ensbury Park: Newbury Drive
A very short road within the mid-70s Slades Farm council estate, comprising terraces of narrow houses on each side, stretching much further than the roadway and with a grass square making up the difference (beyond the green campervan).

When the estate first appeared on local street maps, only its 'parent' road, Hibberd Way, was named, and I wonder whether the intention initially was that these houses be numbered in that road, rather than as a separate road.

The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council.

This is photo no.289 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project:
