Meadows Way: road closed for tramway works
A Bridgford-bound bus is coming down what remains of Arkwright Street, which was the principal route through The Meadows until the Victorian street pattern was obliterated by the redevelopment of the 1970s.

Arkwright Walk, The Meadows
Arkwright Walk is a short stub of a street on the alignment of the old Arkwright Street, now cut short by a modern church building where the street used to run. It is hard to believe that until the 1970s this was a busy main route into the city, lined with shops.

Cat crossing Arkwright Walk
Looking towards the city on a May evening. Fifty years ago there were three-storey Victorian shops either side of the road and the former Great Central Railway from Nottingham Victoria to Marylebone crossed on a plate girder bridge which carried a prominent advertisement for Oscroft's of Castle Boulevard, Vauxhall and Bedford dealers. Arkwright Street Station (see David Hillas's Image]) was to the left, approached by a stairway.

On Arkwright Walk
The former Arkwright Street, once busy with buses, trolleybuses, cars and lorries, has been largely pedestrianised since the 1970s. The large new building in the middle distance is Unity Square, opposite the railway station (in Image), a regional centre for HM Revenue and Customs. For comparison, see Image] (July 2019).

Tramway construction site at Meadows Way
On the skyline are the domes of the railway station (left) and The Council House - visible from here since buildings on Arkwright Street were demolished in 2012. The man in the tracksuit looked to be wondering why I was taking a picture.

At the city end of Arkwright Walk
The houses on the left have replaced those built in the 1970s when The Meadows was redeveloped and a lot of Victorian slum houses demolished. The cranes are on the former car park site between Sheriffs Way and the railway.

Subway under Meadows Way
The camera is pointing along what was once the alignment of the Great Central Railway from Nottingham Victoria to London Marylebone, which crossed the Meadows at roof height on arches and embankments. This was the site of Arkwright Street Station, which closed in 1969 - see David Hillas's Image], a photo pointing towards where I stood to take this picture. David was at about tree-top level.
