Description:
Aerial View.
The majority of houses here were built since the Second World War, but the dozen or so homes to the left of the No. 11 bus route turnaround, at the end of Valley Road, date from around 1910. Melton road runs diagonally along the foreground. In the distance are Greenacre, Wood View and Hawthorne Close on the post-war council estate. Between the two lie the larger houses, some with their own swimming pools, which made Edwalton one of the most select residential areas. Valley road runs from the bus terminus to the top left-hand side of the picture. Beyond it is Croft Road where the first houses were built in 1937 and 1938. Firs road, where the first house was built in 1956 marks the outer limits of private development with Hollies Drive between.
