Dist:0.2km<br/>A sheltered housing/retirement complex in Bleke Street, though 'sheltered' may not seem a very apt word in this weather! Built in 1973, John Shoobridge Court comprises 19 flats and has resident staff and a community alarm service.

Dist:0.3km<br/>There is a small garden on the corner here, though you would not guess it today, after 6 or 7 inches of snow yesterday.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This postbox is supposedly emptied at 5:45pm on weekdays and at 11:45am on Saturdays. However, I noticed that the 'Friday' next collection plate is still showing, so maybe the severe weather yesterday prevented the collection from taking place.
