A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Papers Past in 1977 had several ads inviting you to village their Show Village which was a new concept in living. Street view for 2009 shows a typical street of houses for the 1970s. There are no longer any houses here and there is a gate where the entrance to the street would have been but you are able to walk around it. The boy racers obviously can get in as there were recent looking burn out marks.
