Dist:0.3km<br/>Pinehurst is predominantly an area of pre-1939 council housing. Hawthorn Avenue is fairly typical of the three bedroomed semi-detached and terraced houses to be found there although there are some bungalows as well.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This large mound dominates the green area east of Pinehurst Road. It is not marked on any OS maps and is probably merely the result of modern landscaping.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This forlorn and rusting gate to the former allotments at Pickard's Small Field is no longer in use, and the footbridge crossing the small stream on the other side has been removed. Allotment holders were evicted from Pickard's Small Field (not to be confused with Pickard's Field, also an allotment site, which lies west of Pinehurst Road) in the mid-2000s, when the land was sold off for housing. But development has still not taken place, and meanwhile all waiting lists for allotments in the Borough have been closed due to over-subscription.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The allotments at Pickard's Small Field (not to be confused with Pickard's Field, a different allotment site which lies to the west of Pinehurst Road) were closed in the mid-2000s, purportedly for housing development. But that development has so far not taken place, and the land lies derelict while waiting lists on all other allotment sites in the Borough have had to be closed because of huge waiting lists.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The open space lies at the southern end of Hawthorn Avenue and east of Pinehurst Road, where the houses are. The area was developed in the inter-war years as a council housing estate. Ornithologists everywhere will wish they had been there this day to witness a rare appearance of Columba palumbus.
