Valley Road Park, Nottingham, NG5
This recreation ground is situated between Day Brook, a river that acts as a natural boundary between City Hospital (off screen on the left) and the A6514 (to the left of the railings). The series of lamp posts bordering these Nottingham Petanque Club’s pistes 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 and it was taken over by Cussons Ltd in 1955. When Cussons closed the factory in 2009, having decided to shift its production elsewhere, 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. The newly installed club storage premises can be seen here.

16, Kneeton Vale, Sherwood
My parents' house for a few years; this picture was taken shortly before the purchase. The ridiculous Tudor-style decoration was installed by the previous owner, inadvertently resembling maritime signal flags somewhat. All of this was taken down shortly after the purchase, needless to say!

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.
