View towards Gedling Country Park
The skyline is almost entirely man made, being the landscaped spoil tips of Gedling Colliery which would have been a prominent feature from this viewpoint. The housing was developed for colliery employees.

Queen's Avenue
Part of the large post-war development off Arnold Lane which was essentially a pit village for the neighbouring Gedling Colliery, although it abutted existing residential areas. The roads off this road - Philip Avenue, Elizabeth Grove, Margaret Crescent and Mountbatten Grove, and the neighbouring Kings Avenue indicate that it was built not long after the Royal Wedding in 1948.

Queen's Avenue
Part of the large post-war development off Arnold Lane which was essentially a pit village for the neighbouring Gedling Colliery, although it abutted existing residential areas. The very broken terrain with relatively steep sided valleys and intervening ridges can be seen in this view. Although not obvious in this picture, the road name plate does not include an apostrophe, although the original road name does Image

Gedling Church
Recreating this 'First' for the square https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/35702 . The striking presence of the distant church is recognised in the title although it is only a small part of the picture. Manor Farmhouse, Listed Grade II, is more visible as the result of removal of trees.

A Grade A start to 2020
Simply a grey day of course, but Grade A makes it feel better!
Arnold Lane Gedling at midday (more or less precisely - I had to wait for a van to clear the picture) on New Year's Day 2020. The elegant late 13th century tower and spire of All Hallows Church is a prominent landmark, rising to 180 feet, the second tallest in the county.
