Gedling, Burton Road after Francis Frith
Taken to show how Francis Frith's view from c.1960 http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/nottinghamshire/gedling/photos/gedling_G311014.htm looks today.
Trees have replaced the flower beds on the near corner, there are new trees along the recreation ground to the right (not the ones on Frith's view which are at the kerb edge and have been removed at some stage) and those along the railway embankment now dwarf the railway bridge. The road junction now sports a fine set of traffic lights. At the time of Frith's view, the Colwick Loop Road had not been built, so the main road (Burton Road) was then the one coming in from the left and continuing straight ahead.

All on trolley ?1
I don't think that is quite what is intended – 'Anything on trolley £1' would be better.

Burton Road railway bridge
This is the basic reason why a new bypass road has been built. There was always a significant traffic flow making the right turn like this car, which blocked traffic making for Nottingham City Centre due to the short approach lanes. The bridge carries a derelict railway which latterly served Gedling Colliery; there are proposals to use the alignment for a further route of the Nottingham tram as part of a major expansion of housing development.
There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5024111 on the left hand abutment.

Winter and summer sports
Burton Road Recreation Ground. The football pitch markings are giving way to the summer's cricket pitches.

Inn for a Penny and Ouse Bridge
The pub was originally the Royal Oak, but has been the Inn for a Penny for as long as I can remember.
Ouse Bridge is a rather grand name for what is a culvert over a rather small stream, the Ouse Dyke. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5024112 at the right hand end of the parapet.

Ouse Dyke from Conway Road
The water is remarkably clear considering that this stream drains the landfill site on the former Gedling Colliery waste tip.
