Dist:0.4km<br/>These houses are at the edge of an estate of modern dwellings stretching about half a mile to the west. Although of better appearance than most they still remind one of Malvina Reynolds' "Little Boxes" as performed by Pete Seeger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boxes

Dist:0.5km<br/>The River Biss does not pass through Trowle Bridge which was built to accommodate Lambrok Stream, one of its tributaries. The other side of the bridge is an unpleasant mess.
Effluent from new housing developments during the 1950s and 60s seriously overloaded Trowbridge's sewage system. The resulting stink in this area cannot be imagined; it can only be remembered. The situation is far more salubrious these days.
