Somersby Road, Arnold, Notts.
With the first (or the last) 15% of the southern end of Somersby Road behind the photographer, this is panorama takes Daybrook, the central part of Arnold and beyond these, Redhill. In the centre of the photograph is a playing field used by both Arno Vale Junior School and Woodthorpe Infants School, which are situated on the east and west sides of the expanse.

Down Somersby Road
There are long views from Mapperley Plains (over 125m/410ft). This slightly foreshortened shot towards Arnold, with the hills south of Annesley on the distant skyline, emphasises the steepness of Somersby Road.

Houses on Somersby Road, Mapperley
With their semi bay windows, these houses reminded me of Image, although as the nearest example appears to be in close to as built condition, it seems they did not sport curved glass in the corners of their semi bays. This view also gives an idea of just how steep this part of Somersby Road is.

Looking up Somersby Road, Mapperley
This is a particularly steep section of road in a generally hilly area. For many years this section of Somersby Road was thought too steep for safe bus operation, so this area's bus service historically arrived via Woodthorpe (at the bottom of the road) rather than via Mapperley.
