Daybrook: houses where trains once ran
The houses of Longdale Road are built on the site of Daybrook Station, on the Great Northern line to Derby. Daybrook Station and the section of the line between Basford North and Gedling closed in April 1960 when Mapperley Tunnel was declared unsafe.

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.

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.
