View from Bestwood Estate
From the old Padstow School site. The nearest houses with the hipped roofs are on Gainsford Crescent and date from the late 1930s. Next beyond them is the recent estate which replaced the former High Pavement College. Beyond can be seen one of the Baford gasometers, to its left the former Shipstones brewery, beyond it the Engineering Department tower at the university of Nottingham.

Communications tower
The tower appears to be the last remaining part of the former Padstow School, presumably its water supply, and has survived due to its use as a communications mast.

Raymede Drive
The road is visible in the distance as part of the olde development and curves behind the newer houses to its right. The pathway provides the front access to the houses as well as those on Peary Close to the left.

Windbreak
This site was formerly Padstow School, but this row of poplars goes back before that to when this was farmland.

Padstow Road
This marked the end of the older part of the development, with a gap of some 40 years before the part of the estate to the east was constructed in the early 1980s.
