The Forest and Forest Fields

Football fields in the foreground, Forest Fields in the background, on the other side of Gregory Boulevard (marked by cars and the low Bulwell stone boundary wall). Foxhall Road climbs the hill straight ahead. The Forest came about as a result of the Enclosure Act of 1845. Forest Fields was a genteel part of the rapid expansion of the city in the last quarter of the 19th century.
