Paulsgrove

Joined the city council on a site visit to Paulsgrove Chalkpit. Lots of lines in the landscape. Learned about Paulsgrove that it was just meant as a temporary residential area right after the war, re-housing people from the destroyed parts of town. Now the houses are still there. They were never meant to last that long, therefore maintenance is quite a challenge now. Impressed by the panoramic view from the chalkpit. But always noise from the motorway in the background.
