Newland Close, Wollaton

Newland Close runs parallel with Western Boulevard (part of Nottingham's ring road) near the north eastern edge of Wollaton. However, while the latter road rises to cross the Radford Junction to Trowell Junction railway line on a bridge, Newland Close remains level, and comes to an abrupt end where it meets the railway boundary fence (just visible in the distance). The terraces of four houses, with semihexagonal porches providing access to the middle dwellings, are typical of pre Second World War council estates in Nottingham, as is the circular street sign visible on the right. This estate is effectively cut in half by Western Boulevard, and is bounded to the north and east by the railway, to the south by Wollaton Road, and to the west by the now obliterated course of the Nottingham Canal.
