Graffiti on the skate park. Deliberately underexposed to offset the sunshine reflecting off the silver paint.

Bagthorpe, Valley Pk - NG5
Valley Road Park. This recreation ground is situated between the Day Brook, a river that acts as a natural boundary between City Hospital (on the right) and the A6514 (to the left of the railings). The series of lamp posts bordering Nottingham City Petanque Club’s pistes are a blast from the past having once provided external lighting on the P.Z. Cussons (U.K. Ltd) soap factory site in Basford. Gerard Bros Ltd opened a soap manufacturing factory in 1893 that was taken over by Cussons Ltd in 1955. The Cussons closed the factory in 2009, having decided to shift its production elsewhere and one of the founding members of the petanque club asked if the club might have the lamp posts as an alternative to them ending up as scrap metal. A couple of pictures of the posts in their former location can be seen on http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/54919-PZ-Cussons-Nottingham-Oct-10.
