Brunswick House, Brunswick Terrace, Stafford, under construction

Brunswick House is part of a housing development on the south-east side of Brunswick Terrace. The builders were David Wilson Homes. Owing to the nature of the ground all properties were built on concrete piles driven into the ground.

Show homes on Hollins Drive off Brunswick Terrace, Stafford

The nearest two houses on Hollins Drive were the show homes for the two-storey houses on the development. The nearest house was the entrance to a reception area with staff day accommodation. An arched opening in the party wall led to the second house which was fully furnished and the actual show home.

Fields off Billington Bank, Stafford

A view of fields from an unnamed lane off the brow of Billington bank near Stafford. On the horizon in the distance is 'The Keep', a block of flats on the Highfields Estate in Stafford. There used to be a second block but that was brought down and new housing built.

Looking across fields towards the M6 motorway with Stafford castle sat high on its hill and motte in the distance. The large white buildings to the left are the industrial units of Primepoint 14 by Junction 14. The polytunnels are a part of a strawberry farm that attracts droves of eastern European fruitpickers each summer.
