Mousie at the crossing

Dear All,
Here’s a picture of the zebra crossing in Bottom End.
Love,
Mousie

Z is for Zebra Crossing

The black and white lines show that pedestrians have right of way over the road. If drivers ignore pedestrians, they can face a fine of £60 and 3 points on their driving licence – or £1,000 if there’s a lollipop person.

This zebra crossing was probably put in because this is a route to the Robert Ogden School, back when it was the village secondary school but now it’s residential and children don’t walk to school every morning.

Mousie on York Street

Dear All,
This is York Street.
Love,
Mousie

Y is for York Terrace

The bulk of Top End was built between 1920 and 1939. York Terrace is one of the streets layed out in that time. Yes, it’s another area with themed road names. Can you guess what this one is?

How about I give you some more names: Briton Street, Roman Street, Windsor Street, Tudor Street, Lancaster Street… Yes, the streets are named after royal houses, and eras / groups of settlers. There’s even a Dane Street.
