This is the meeting point of three local authorities, the actual point being in the middle of the road opposite the boundary marker to the right of the picture. The foreground is in the City of Nottingham, beyond, the centre line of the road is the boundary between Ashfield District (left) and Gedling Borough (right). The boundary marker http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3938689 was installed by the then Borough of Nottingham in 1877. The low wall beyond the boundary marker is the remains of the abutment of the railway bridge that crossed the road at this point; it carried the Midland Railway branch into Bestwood Colliery.
