As mentioned in the Mt Nicholson thread, I came across this PB back in 2000 and have never been back since.

Someone had cultivated a garden in the flat ground beside it. <Read more ...>

After the war bungalows were built for military officers and their families. Four blocks of flats varying from eight to 12 stories were then constructed in 1962 for senior civil servants. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac and backed by Mount Nicholson they were spacious and airy with large communal gardens and great views of the harbour. They were highly desirable. <Read more ...>
