Nottingham - NG5/NG3 boundary
A view of the traffic control barrier situated at the halfway point on Private Road (sic), adjacent to Victoria Crescent. This picture was taken from the Mansfield Road end of this semi-private road. (No. 32, Victoria Crescent, a stone’s throw away from this barrier is where D.H. Lawrence lodged between 1906-08 whilst he was a trainee-teacher student at University College, Nottingham.) This electronic barrier was installed circa 1997 to replace a wooden gate that, whilst effective in deterring unauthorised traffic, became a nuisance for local residents using their cars. A certain Samuel Cartledge owned the Mapperley Place Estate that surrounds what is now called Private Road, up to and including Mapperley Mount at the top end of this hilly road. He also owned a nearby brickyard and its associated cottages. According to the Poll Book of 1832 nine voters lived alongside this private road and three others lived in the "Plains" or the Brickyard Cottages. The Mapperley cricket field was previously just off Private Road too.

Hill View Avenue, Mapperley
Seen from Private Road, the reason for its name is fairly obvious. The land also slopes away quite steeply behind the houses on the right.

Barrier on Private Road, Mapperley Park
This barrier prevents Private Road from being used by through traffic between Mansfield Road (out of sight in the distance) and Woodborough Road (some way behind the photographer). The rising bollard type device can be retracted by residents using some sort of electronic device.
