This sign is telling drivers not to use their mobile phones while driving on the road on Hucknall Lane, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.

Standard GR wall box. Note the remains of a relatively modern stamp vending machine alongside.

This appears to have been built around 1950 specifically as a Post Office to serve Bulwell Hall Estate, and not as a conversion of an earlier building.

This photo, which was taken in May 1969, shows Leyland Atlantean 441 (DAU 441C) a 1965 Leyland Atlantean with Metro-Cammell 77-seater bodywork at the Bulwell Hall Estate terminus on the A611 Hucknall Lane. It is operated by Nottingham City Transport and is about to leave on route 44 to Colwick Road via the City Centre. This route was operated by trolleybuses until the 31st May 1965 and two trolleybus traction poles can be seen behind the bus. The building to the right of the bus has since been demolished and is now a car service centre. Semaphore railway signals can be seen on the left of the photo on the railway line that is still in use together with Nottingham's express transit system to Hucknall.

UK Road Narrows To The Right Road Sign On Hucknall Lane, Nottingham Nottinghamshire.

On Hucknall Lane opposite Bulwell Hall estate, the Swinger stands abandoned among small industrial units related to cars. The sign on the right hand gable of the former pub depicts a tram, implying that the pub's name relates to the swinging of the trolleyboom to face the other way for the tram's return journey. However, today's Nottingham Express Transit system aside, Nottingham's tram system never extended north of Bulwell town centre (though for many years trolleybuses passed this point).

This was one of the council estates built in the 1930s as the city expanded to the north and west. The picture shows the backs of houses on Longford Crescent. Their gardens end at the city boundary.

The Bulwell Hall Estate was part of the expansion of social housing in Nottingham in the late 1930s. The house were originally plain brick, in the style of the one in the centre, but most have now been modernised with an extra skin, with rendered finish, to improve insulation.
