Barnby Walk
The Sherwood Estate was a Nottingham City Council development of the 1930s. The general layout is attractive, but roads are well below standards for today's car-driven society. Here the carriageway is no more than about 3 metres wide, but it is still a 2-way road!

Barnby Walk
A very narrow road on Sherwood Estate, leading off Valley Road. Despite being only around 3 metres wide, this is a two way road, with a tricky junction onto a 40mph dual carriageway. The Sherwood Estate was a Nottingham City Council development of the 1930s. The general layout is attractive, but roads are well below standards for today's car-driven society.

Strictly knockabout football only - the space is too small for a formal football pitch.

Flood alleviation of the Day Brook in Valley Park ? 5
Part of the new course showing the stone bed and some of the developing vegetation. The bright green plant is watercress, which would be native to a stream like this, but has probably been planted rather than self-seeded.

Day Brook Recreation Ground, Nottingham NG5
A 'fairly elderly' children's playground near the Five Ways Hotel end of this park. In early August a budget of £50,000 was approved for the development of a new children's playground near to Hucknall Rd/City Hospital roundabout. As a result, this playground will be dismantled in due course and the area turfed over. The cars seen here are travelling along Valley Road (the A6514) towards the Five Ways Hotel, a public house.

Flood alleviation of the Day Brook in Valley Park ? 6
Ford on the new course, allowing vehicle access to the old course for maintenance purposes. The notice states that the public are not allowed to use the ford!
The construction of the ford is unusual, being created from coarse stones allowing the water to percolate through.

Flood channels. The course of the stream has been designed to accumulate water during periods of high flow, to reduce the risk of flooding properties further downstream.
