Come Drive with Me - Netherfield, Milton Keynes, England

A drive around an estate in Milton Keynes called Netherfield on Wednesday, 19th October 2022.

Netherfield was originally built between 1972 and 1977, and I moved to Milton Keynes in 1977 and lived in 239 Broadlands. It's fair to say Netherfield has seen better days. On the day I filmed, the waste disposal men were coming around, so all the rubbish bags on the side were for them.
