Now covered by residential housing, in the sixties there were several ponds in this area resulting from the brick works where I used to collect newts.

The Mapperley Ridge radio transmitter towers above everything else. Adjacent to the transmitter is a brick-built house belonging to the Severn-Trent Water Authority and behind the (now unused) gates the raised profile of a covered reservoir can be seen.

Woodthorpe Grange was built in 1874 as a family home for Henry Ashwell, a businessman in the bleaching, dyeing and finishing trade. In 1889, the Nottingham Suburban Railway was built running north to south across and under the estate. Although he was compensated, Ashwell didn't like this and he sold the grange to Edward Parry, who had designed the railway that split the estate. In 1905, Parry sold the estate to Godfrey Small, a Nottingham city councillor and then in 1921, Small sold the house to Nottingham City Council for £15,000 using a donation given by Sir Jesse Boot. The estate was opened to the public as Woodthorpe Grange Park in 1922. The house provides departmental offices for a Nottingham City Council.
