Introduction
The photograph on this page of Bulwell Common by John Sutton as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The trees and houses to the left of the common are on the site of Bulwell Common Station and its associated goods and carriage sidings, built by the Great Central Railway in 1898. The station closed to passengers in 1963 and to all traffic in 1968. It is now hard to imagine there was ever a main line running north through Bulwell.
