Logs laid alongside estate road The area to the right of the logs has been used in the past for car parking - the aerial view available from 'OS Maps' shows vehicles there. It appears still to be possible to park cars alongside the logs without obstructing the road but the overall amount of parking there has been restricted. One wonders for what purpose!
