Corporation Oaks top
The pathway encircles the Belle Vue reservoir, built in the 1850s, which provided Nottingham with a clean supply of water that limited its exposure to the cholera outbreaks of the mid 19th century.

View to the City Centre from Belle Vue reservoir
An interesting comparison with this 2009 view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1196704 , with less of the city visible due to tree growth. The Newton Building of Nottingham Trent University is the only matching landmark. The vista of the city promised when Corporation Oaks was developed is no longer available!

Victorian Villas on Corporation Oaks
A villa facing this attractive avenue would have been a prime target for Nottingham's wealthier business people - there's a road at the back for your carriage, of course.

Outlet meters for Belle Vue Reservoir
I'm guessing at the function of what lies beneath this large access cover. The presence of an adjacent cabinet and phone line suggests telemetry (remote measurement) of the flow in the mains leading out of the reservoir at the top of the hill
