This little green space was once a much larger sports field, used in the 1950s for football by Berridge Road Junior School, and probably others. We walked in a crocodile along Alfreton Road, over the footbridge over the railway at Bobbers Mill and along Nuthall Road. Much of that field has now been taken up by the Whitemoor Court Industrial Estate and the tannery backing on to Albert Avenue is also long gone. There is still a view across the railway to Gerard's Soap Works, now derelict.
