The grand villas on First, Second and Third Avenues were some of the first houses built north of The Forest as Nottingham expanded after the Enclosure Act of 1845. To the left of the picture are the backs of red-brick terraced houses on Wiverton Road, part of the Forest Fields development which happened after the parishes of Lenton, Radford and Basford became part of the Borough in 1877.
