Patrick Road, NOTTINGHAM, NG2 7JY

Looking towards Loughborough Road and the Wilford Lane junction at 7.55 on a mild September evening. The red sky presaged lovely weather the following day.

Looking towards Musters Road.

The end of this road was blocked some years ago due to the complexity of the road junction at this point.

Victorian villas in suburban Nottingham. I lived here from 1961-64, initially in the lower flat of no.33 on the left, and then upstairs. There have been changes in the time since then - the two semis appear to have been combined as one property to make three flats, with a drive at the left down to the rear, with tarmacked parking and bin space [we grew vegetables there]; the lower flat of no. 33 is now flat 1 of no. 35; the right hand door leads to a ground floor maisonette, flat 2 of no. 35 [for rent at £650 pcm - I think we paid 10 guineas a month for the upstairs flat]. I presume a third flat is upstairs on the right, accessed by a spiral stair at the south gable.

Looking through a zoom lens from near the Loughborough Road end towards Henry Road and Musters Road. The Methodist Church, with its distinctive pagoda-roofed tower, is on the corner of Patrick Road and Musters Road - for a closer look, see Image

Looking south along a street of Victorian semi-detached houses. Built in the days of a pre-car owning society, but it is noticeable that there was just space between the houses to get a garage in at the side [see the two on the left]; an alternative was to use that space to give access to the garden area at the rear for parking see Image

The substantial Victorian houses on this part of Loughborough are now entirely converted to commercial properties,

A fine example with superb decorative brickwork on Loughborough Road.

The junction of Loughborough Road and Wilford Lane (left); the beginning of Melton Road is just out of view to the right. The verdant raised bed on the right blocks the end of Patrick Road, one of many roads in West Bridgford named after children of the landowners who first developed the suburb.
