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
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.)

Mapperley Park: Old Hall Drive
Mapperley Park, long the home of Nottingham's prosperous, is the quintessential leafy suburb. This is the junction of Mapperley Hall Drive and Old Hall Drive, a steep and narrow cul de sac at the top end of which my Auntie Ethel and Uncle Harold lived in the 1960s.

Mapperley Park: leafiest of suburbs
In a grand suburb consisting mainly of substantial late Victorian and Edwardian houses, this large bungalow on the corner of Hatfield Road and Sefton Drive, built perhaps in the 1950s or 60s, is the exception.
