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.

Sherwood/Daybrook: Peggy's Park
The gate, designed by young people from Edwards Lane Community Centre, reflects the place's relatively recent past, as part of the Great Northern Railway's Nottingham-Derby railway, known as the Back Line. An information board gives a good potted history of the line, with pictures.
Though in the Sherwood area of the City of Nottingham, the park is not far from the site of Daybrook Station.

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.

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]).
