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.

The Grantham Canal
This canal once linked the River Trent to Grantham, a distance of 33 miles. It was closed in 1936. Most of the waterway still contains water and is used both as a wildlife refuge and as a recreational resource for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. There is a flourishing restoration society http://www.granthamcanal.com/ which is aiming to open the canal to boats once again. This stretch is bounded by the busy A52 and West Bridgford to the right and housing in Lady Bay on the left. These houses are on Ropsley Crescent.

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.

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).
