Taken from Brierton Lane looking north along what would become Kingsley Avenue. The cemetery would be to the right of the allotment fence on the right. There are still allotments on either side of this path which still links Brierton Lane and Kingsley Avenue, but the only building is Rift House Farm which is on the site where Kingsley School stands near Oxford Road roundabout. Only a small part of Westbrooke and Southbrooke Avenues had been built on the Brooke Estate at this point which dates it perhaps to the 1940s.
