Bramblewood Estate
Built on the site of a former brickworks. The ground level would originally have run through from where the photograph was taken to the houses on the horizon, giving some idea of the amount of material that was extracted to make bricks. The whole of this hilly area to the east of Nottingham is basically a large lump of clay in the form of soft mudstones and siltstones. The pub on the estate was built round a steam engine which powered the presses and other machinery. This engine has since been removed to the Wollaton Industrial Museum.

Top of Foxhill Road West, Carlton
Foxhill Road West drops sharply away from Standhill Road (immediately behind the photographer) towards the southern end of Carlton Valley. The provisions made for level off street parking outside some of the houses help to establish how steep the road actually is.

Standhill Road
The entrance to King George V Playing Field. The way the ground falls steeply to the right hand side can be clearly seen, and there is a similar fall on the other side of the road. This is due to the excavation of clays on both sides of the road for brickmaking, leaving it as a high embankment.

The Engine House public house, Burgass Road
This public house was built on the site of The Nottingham Patent Brick Company (see -Image) and incorporated this rather large and old horizontal single cylinder steam engine. This was possibly c1850 and installed secondhand in 1868 and worked here for 98 years - a very creditable performance. The cylinder is 21" bore x 66" stroke and the flywheel is 16' diameter and had been adapted for rope drive. The engine was removed from the pub in 1982 and is being slowly re-erected at Nottingham Industrial Museum.
