Pierrepont Road, Lady Bay
Suburban semis line the east side of Pierrepont Road in the Lady Bay area of West Bridgford. The origin of the Lady Bay name is obscure, one suggestion being that it refers to a bay mare that was once kept in fields here. The sign marking the way to the Poppy and Pint pub is also unusual - as is the pub itself (see
Image).

The Poppy and Pint, Lady Bay
Despite the garish colour scheme, this former British Legion club is a pleasant, if unusual, pub. Completely embedded in the suburban Lady Bay area of West Bridgford, it would be easy to miss but is accessed from Pierrepont Road. To the rear of the building is a bowling green.

Rutland Road, Lady Bay
Lady Bay, although part of West Bridgford, is a distinct area between the A52 and the River Trent. Before it was built upon by the Victorians in the 19th century it was basically two very large fields and a wet marshy place by the river. Today it has its own personality, almost like a village. The main routes into the area are marked by these crane "gates" and there is a 20 mph speed limit throughout.

West Bridgford: the Grantham Canal behind Rutland Road
The canal opened in 1797 and was abandoned in 1936. This stretch forms a pleasant walk and wildlife corridor beside Radcliffe Road (over the hedge on the left). The houses on the right are on Rutland Road.

Gertrude Road, Lady Bay, West Bridgford
The Lady Bay area with its grid-based layout was developed from the late 19th century, mainly with typical semi-detached villas. This end of the road was not developed until the first half of the 20th century.
