Dist:0.3km<br/>After countless lorry loads of soil were delivered to the site the bulldozers got to work to complete the profiling. The area in the south west corner bounded by Middle House Drive and Ashgrove close was planned to be a wildlife area. There was even talk of putting sheep on the site to act as "lawnmowers". They finally arrived on 15 January 2009. Later picture from similar position shows the finished scene.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Eighteen months after an image [[1120733]] was taken from similar position, a flock of South Downs arrived to start work. The banking by the bulldozer in the earlier image has achieved its objective to prevent water running off the site into neighbouring properties but, has partly obscured part of what was once an open view towards Marlbrook Lane and Alvechurch Highway.
