Garages at the back of Sherbrook Road
It's clear that virtually none of these has seen any use for a long time.

Boundary Marker, off Sherbrook Road
A scruffy view of the rear of one of the standard Nottingham cast-iron boundary markers. It is in a school playing field which makes it difficult to get to the front of it.

Site of former council housing off Rosecroft Drive
There were three blocks of maisonettes containing 36 dwellings (69-139 Rosecroft Drive) located here until around 2008. The maisonettes are an unusual building type in the housing stock of Nottingham Borough Council. Existing examples are located on Abbey Bridge, Marchwood Close and Kibworth Court. I presume that the individual flats are single-aspect (i.e., back-to-back) given the size of the buildings, number of flats and doorways located on all sides of the building.

Typical 'twitchell' of Nottingham City Council houses
Nottingham Borough Council built a huge number of council houses between the 1920s and the early 1950s. The bulk of them were built to a limited number of designs which can be found all over the city. The eight houses here represent one of the commoner designs: a terrace of four houses with a central arch giving access to the back gardens of the central houses. Houses grouped along a pedestrian footway (usually known locally as a twitchell) are also a characteristic feature of the design of the estates where most of this housing was built. Also visible are the original picket fences: usually supplemented, as here, with privet hedges.

Corner semis on Edwards Lane Council Estate
This design appears to have been used across many Nottingham council estates between the mid-1920s through to the late 1940s (as here). Usually they occupy corner plots at junctions, with the two houses characteristically belonging to different streets. Earlier examples may be pebble-dashed or tile-hung rather than having exposed brickwork.
