This station was closed on 4/3/63, just four months before the photograph. (There is no trace of the railway there 45 years later).

Bulwell Tram Depot
The old back wall of the tram depot can be seen over the blue and white fencing. Built for the electric trams in 1901, it was subsequently used by trolleybuses and finally motorbuses before being sold by Nottingham City Transport in around 2002. The site is now being developed for housing.

Bulwell Common
The trees and houses to the left of the common are on the site of Bulwell Common Station and its associated goods and carriage sidings, built by the Great Central Railway in 1898. The station closed to passengers in 1963 and to all traffic in 1968. It is now hard to imagine there was ever a main line running north through Bulwell.

Site of Bulwell bus garage
Located on Piccadilly, just off Highbury Road about half a mile south east of Bulwell town centre, the bus garage here was previously a trolleybus depot, and before that a tram depot. If memory serves, it was closed by Nottingham City Transport in 2000; however, redevelopment of the site has been fairly slow. Since the housing visible on the extreme right was constructed, nothing much seems to have happened here.

Bulwell NG5, Notts.
A footpath along the western boundary of Potter's Hollow Recreation Ground. To the photographer's right lies Hucknall Road, the A611 road, linking Nottingham and Hucknall. The Great Central Railway line once ran along this western edge. It was the last main line built to London, opening to passenger traffic in 1900. It seems that trains from Manchester and Sheffield passed alongside Bulwell Common and through Bulwell Common Station on their way to Marylebone.
