These are not really internal reserves, so what are they doing here you might ask. If nothing else I wanted to put in at least one example of the extreme end of public open space as shared 'backyard space' in a housing block. There are no private gardens here, of course, and the housing blocks were intended to be 3-5 storeys. I don't think this estate was constructed (someone might be able to confirm or deny this).
