Allendale Road is the main road leading into the Grange Park estate from the east. It begins at the Woodthorpe roundabout at the intersection of the A6004, Ling Road leading around Loughborough's suburbs and Terry Yardley Way heading towards the A6 to Leicester; Carnation Road, leading into the Trinity Gardens estate; and Main Street, heading into the sleepy nearby hamlet of Woodthorpe. Heading south and then west, it eventually enters the Grange Park estate, crossing Highland Drive and then ending at Knox Road.
To my mild annoyance, Blogger put the photographs in reverse order (again), and I really can't be bothered to go and correct this. Consequently the photographs begin at the western end of Allendale Road and go northeast instead,
