The 89 bus on Edwards Lane
The bus into town may be of interest to bus enthusiasts, but I had come to see the red-brick wall on the right, once the parapet of the bridge over the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby, known as The Back Line as it looped round the east and north of the city instead of taking the direct route to the west chosen forty years earlier by the Midland Railway. This section of The Back Line closed in 1960.

Former course of The Back Line
The Great Northern Railway line from Colwick to Ilkeston and Derby was built in the 1870s to carry coal from the Erewash Valley. It was known as The Back Line as it went the back way, in a huge loop round the east and north of Nottingham, in contrast to the more direct Midland line. The section east of Basford closed in 1960 when Mapperley Tunnel was deemed unsafe. This is the view towards Edwards Lane from Peggy's Park (see Image]).

Demolition rubble on site of Haywood School
Haywood School was demolished not long after it was closed.
Currently (2013) there are informal planning guidelines for it to be redeveloped for housing (see Evening Post story http://www.nottinghampost.com/Plans-100-family-homes-Sherwood-school-site-step/story-16559833-detail/story.html ).
The Southern part of the site is on the line of Nottingham Suburban Railway.

Nottingham - City Hospital
Previously one of the City Hospital's principal nurses' homes, this building now houses the Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) Trust headquarters. Was this "The Nurses Memorial Home" (a monument to the First World War dead of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire), that was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1923?
