Sherwood/Daybrook: Peggy's Park
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 25 Jun 2013
The gate, designed by young people from Edwards Lane Community Centre, reflects the place's relatively recent past, as part of the Great Northern Railway's Nottingham-Derby railway, known as the Back Line. An information board gives a good potted history of the line, with pictures. Though in the Sherwood area of the City of Nottingham, the park is not far from the site of Daybrook Station.
