Gedling, Burton Road after Francis Frith
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 19 Jun 2008
Taken to show how Francis Frith's view from c.1960 http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/nottinghamshire/gedling/photos/gedling_G311014.htm looks today. Trees have replaced the flower beds on the near corner, there are new trees along the recreation ground to the right (not the ones on Frith's view which are at the kerb edge and have been removed at some stage) and those along the railway embankment now dwarf the railway bridge. The road junction now sports a fine set of traffic lights. At the time of Frith's view, the Colwick Loop Road had not been built, so the main road (Burton Road) was then the one coming in from the left and continuing straight ahead.
