Save Broom and Lees
... Aerial view, Summer 2005

The above photograph shows the large sports field, known as Broom and
Lees, which is at the heart of this campaign.
Six pitches are marked out, ready to be played on. Top is approximately
north.
Hurtmore Road crosses the image from left to right, just above the copyright
information. The wooden footbridge
connecting Broom and Lees with Under Green and the main school grounds
can also be seen.
The field bottom right is Lessington, with Princes Drive between the
two southernmost fields.
Top, centre, in the corner of Broom and Lees is a gateway into Mark Way,
at this point a narrow private road.
A public footpath is under the trees on the field's northern boundary.
With very grateful thanks to the owner of this photograph
for allowing its use for the Save Broom and Lees Campaign.

Another map is available on Google (view
their larger map). They have only recently included B&L on
their map.
Google maps are of a more commercial nature, contain advertisements
and are not 100% accurate - at least as far as this area is concerned.
