Musters Road, West Bridgford
This is one of the main wide tree-lined streets in the Victorian suburb of West Bridgford where many wealthy Nottingham industrialists lived. Strict planning rules imposed by the Musters family, when they sold their land for building, restricted density and imposed a minimum number of bedrooms. Smaller houses were permitted on side streets, and terraces were erected on roads such as Stratford Road for the servants, (see
Image).
It is interesting to note that there are no "Streets" in West Bridgford. Originally many roads were name "Street" but this was felt to be too urban by the Victorian "planners". Thus all street names were changed from "Street" to "Road". The one exception is "Village Street" in Edwalton, a village that has been totally absorbed into the town of West Bridgford.

Bus on Musters Road, West Bridgford
Until March 2012, route 5 served the northern section of Musters Road, between Bridgford Road and Rectory Road in West Bridgford. This one has just passed the junction with Millicent Road on its way from Nottingham city centre to Gamston. Route 5 now operates via Central Avenue, so this view is no longer possible.
