The green at Wood Grove
Part of the development of Calverton as a mining village in the 1950s. Originally this bit of open space looked out across agricultural land, behind the photographer.

Broadfields
The name applies to the whole of this development to the north of Park Road East, with quite a network of roads sharing the same name. Apparently the name was intended to be Broomfields, as this shrub was prolific in the area before development; the actual name was the result of a typing error.

Calverton Post Office postbox (ref. NG14 350)
E II R pillar box, with the earlier 'Post Office' lettering, indicating that it is probably not a replacement for a built-in postbox, as is the case at many post offices. In the background is the local police station.

Park Road East
This marked the edge of the expansion of Calverton as a colliery village in the 1950s. The housing to the right is clearly publicly funded development (in this instance NCB), with 1970s private development on the left.

Mansfield Lane
19th century housing shows that this is one of the established thoroughfares before the village was expanded to serve the colliery in the 1950s. Looking south from Park Road.

Pete's Fish Bar
The real reason for taking this shot was to include the pre-Worboys style of sign for the Public Conveniences (still in existence, but currently closed) http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2559218.

Carrington Cottages
Clearly originally intended for workers at the adjacent Carrington Farm, they have now been effectively incorporated into the main built-up development of Calverton, seen in the background. Older maps name them as Carrington Houses.
