In the 18th century Radford Grove Lane led down to Radford Folly, a fashionable pleasure garden by the banks of the Leen (see http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/whatnall1928/radford_folly.htm ). In the last century, the background of this view was dominated by the tall Players cigarette factory on the far side of Churchfield Lane, now demolished and the site of a retail park. The trees on the right are in Radford churchyard. Image] shows the Churchfield Lane end of this row of houses.
