Bakersfield: bungalow on Broadway East
The large bungalow on the left was built in 1958-9 by some people who had been our neighbours in Bobbers Mill.

Bakersfield: view from Oakdale Road
The gaps between the houses on Oakdale Road give glimpses over Colwick Country Park and the wide Trent Valley to the South Nottinghamshire wolds in the distance. In May there is a lot of yellow oilseed rape to be seen.

Climbing Douglas Avenue
The topology of the high ground to the east of Nottingham abounds with steep sided valleys, with a consequent effect on the road network. This particular bus route is prone to disruption during snowfall or icy conditions.
