IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cyprus Road, NOTTINGHAM, NG3 5EF

Looking north along Cyprus Road. The junction with Ebers Road can be seen on the left, and that with Merrivale Court on the right, just at the end of the high Bulwell stone wall. The boundary with Image is about where the white vans are. Cyprus road continues up the hill to join Mapperley Hall Drive. Typical of the streets in the Mapperley Park and Alexandra Park Conservation Area, Cyprus Road is lined with trees and has houses that exhibit a wide range of Vernacular Revival styles that defined the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

A typical street in Mapperley Park. The Mapperley Park and Alexandra Park Conservation Area was first designated in July 1976 and extended in December 1976. This designation recognises its historic significance as an early Edwardian suburb built within a mature parkland setting. The large Conservation Area lies between Mansfield Road and Woodborough Road, extending to the east of Woodborough Road to include Alexandra Park, with its northern boundary generally defined by Private Road and its southern boundary defined by Mapperley Road. Mapperley Park and Alexandra Park developed as an exclusive suburb for the Edwardian middle classes. Speculatively built and completed over a period of over fifty years, properties display a range of styles from the late 19th through to the mid 20th century. The Conservation Area includes many good quality examples of the range of Vernacular Revival styles that defined the late Victorian and Edwardian periods; with Gothic and other Victorian styles on the edges of the area contrasting with the more homely individualistic styles of the 20th century Vernacular Revival that comprise the core of the estate.

On the corner of Ebers Road with Grosvenor Avenue. E VII R are relatively rare due to his short reign; this is one of only two that I have found in Nottingham.

The house has been modified in recent years with an extension on its right hand side incorporating an integral garage which replaced a detached garage on which Ordnance Survey documents indicate that in 1962 had a cut mark benchmark levelled at 70.686m above Newlyn Datum.

Magdala Road runs up the steep hill from Mansfield Road to Woodborough Road. Some of Nottingham's wealthiest Victorians and Edwardians built huge houses here, many with stables and coachmen's houses like the ones in this picture.

South of Tavistock Drive (crossing in the foreground) the large houses of Mapperely Park give way to ones more modest.

Looking towards Mansfield Road. The pillar box is a rare E VII R specimen.
