A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au

Raymond Unwin hypothetical (?)
This image is captioned 'Groups of buildings designed to maintain square roof lines on a curving road' on p. 346 of Raymond Unwin's Town Planning in Practice (1909). Although it appears in a general discussion of Letchworth Garden City it is not designated as an actual place and I suspect it may be hypothetical. Note the Tennis Court on the lower right and the small park on the top left featuring a sun dial.
