Part of the Wollaton Park Estate. The brown coloured roofs are the original ones, many having been replaced with more modern materials. These houses are interesting in having steel frames with precast concrete panels. The design was originally intended to be applied to all the City Council's housing developments at the time, but after the construction of this Estate, more traditional brick buildings were erected.
