Tavistock Drive
Mansfield Road, A60, is very busy, noisy and unpleasant. However, just off Mansfield Road are some very lovely, quiet, tree-lined residential streets of which Tavistock Drive is an example.

Carrington Sports Ground, Mansfield Road
Now the Hyson Green & Carrington Sports Club, this long-established cricket ground was once the Nottingham City Police Training Ground, where I spent a fair amount of time as a child, watching my father play for the all-conquering Police side (all six-footers) which won the Notts Amateur League several times in the years after the War. This view is taken across the ground, which is scooped out of the sandstone, towards the houses on Carisbrooke Drive. (There are fierce notices threatening trespassers with prosecution, so it should be recorded that I had been invited on to the ground for a Proustian moment or two.)

House on Carisbrooke Drive
If not the work of the modernist architect Charles Voysey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Voysey_(architect) it is strongly influenced by him, with trademark features such as the sloping buttresses, the white pebbledashing and the decorative eaves supports.

Carrington Sports Ground, Mansfield Road: the pavilion
Now the Hyson Green & Carrington Sports Club, this long-established cricket ground was once the Nottingham City Police Training Ground, where I spent a fair amount of time as a child, watching my father play for the all-conquering Police side (all six-footers) which won the Notts Amateur League several times in the years after the War. In those days the low, green-painted wooden pavilion was long on charm (and Mrs Creswick's fine teas), but had more primitive facilities than its smart lottery-funded replacement. (There are fierce notices threatening trespassers with prosecution, so it should be recorded that I had been invited on to the ground for a Proustian moment or two.)
