The River Trent with the Netherfield railway viaduct, crossing the Trent and the Trent flood plain, in the distance. On the left margin of the picture is an estate of mobile homes known as Radcliffe Park (off Wharf Lane). This picture was taken from a cliff-top path - designated The Avenue at this point - that extends from Radcliffe towards Gibbet Hill (to the left of this view). This path hugs the edge of the top of a 15-20 foot wide strip of open land situated on the top of some impressive shale cliffs overlooking the River Trent. This cliff-top walk and Rockley Memorial Park (of the flower garden type), a mile or so away, was gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son, who was killed at Ypres during WWI. The Trent acts as the administrative boundary between Gedling, NG14 and Radcliffe, NG12.
