These four cottages, photographed over late-rush-hour traffic waiting to cross Western Boulevard, date from 1902. They are all that remains of the Aspley Hall estate - the hall was demolished in 1968. "The history of Aspley up to 1928 is the history of one large house, Aspley Hall. From then onwards Aspley is a Nottingham suburb which is largely a creation by the City Council" (Geoffrey Oldfield: "The Illustrated History of Nottingham's Suburbs").
