Note the change in housing style from late Victorian terrace to inter-war semi-detached as you move further from the main Highbury Road (behind the camera).

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.

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 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.
