Telford Avenue. On the edge of TL2525..  I wasn't going any further into this estate.  I always get lost even though it's not that big by local standards.  This estate, in common with others in the area suffers from the increase in car ownership.  Parking is awkward, the roads not wide and the layout is twisting.
