The tarmac in the foreground is Alfreton Road, which becomes Bobbers Mill Bridge where the slope begins on the left of the picture. Bobbers Mill Bridge, built in the late 1930s at the same time as Western Boulevard as the city expanded westwards, replaced the old Alfreton Road, straight ahead, where there was once a level crossing over the Nottingham-Mansfield railway. The houses on the right are the same design as others in the area and also date from the late 1930s. The former Lindley & Lindley factory shown in Image] is behind them.
