Furze Platt Triangle Conservation Area Appraisal47Special Features of the Area 7At the junction of Linden Avenue and Gringer Hill, looking east the land drops away giving a view in winteracross to the far side of the Thames valley, with glimpses of the distant gravel workings which may havebeen a source of local gravel drives and pebbledash. To the north can be seen the arrayed frontages ofhouses on the west side of Furze Platt Road, mixed with the greenery of trees in their front gardens.From the corner of Linden Avenue and Belmont Park Avenue, the view north shows an attractive line ofhouses on the west side of Camden Road.

Commercial uses are provided by the Golden Harp Public House,and the Dentist’s surgery at the corner of Linden Avenue And Courthouse Road.7.21 Furze Platt Road forms part of the A308, and as such carries a heavy volume of traffic at peak times.Courthouse Road forms a link between the A308 and the A4 west of Maidenhead, and is frequently usedas a bypass route.7.22 A significant use of both Courthouse Road And Linden Avenue is school traffic, partly in cars butmore notably on foot. The area is adjacent to Furze Platt Infant, Junior and Senior schools, but is also aroute to schools such as Courthouse Junior and Alwyn Infant. Many children walk along the roads, benefitingfrom the generally wide pavements, as yet uninterrupted by many side roads. As such it is a useful amenityto the area and enjoyed, perhaps unconsciously, by many. Linden Avenue And Camden Road are residential.
