Nottingham - NG7 (Canning Circus Area)
An extremely faded inscription on the brickwork of the house on the right - between the two metal brackets securing the drainpipe to the wall - declares this to be "Park Hill". It seems likely that in the path this set of steps, plus a short path or passageway, connected Derby Road (seen at the foot of these steps) with Ilkeston Road. In the distance there is gated access to a modern block of apartments that are currently being used by students. Unfortunately pedestrians are obliged to pass through the rather insalubrious, raised forecourt that exists between the two older houses.

Nottingham - NG7 (Canning Circus)
Ilkeston Road is clearly not a through-road any longer. Although this cul-de-sac at the side of the well-known Sir John Borlase Warren pub 'seems' a calm oasis, in fact it forms the hub of very busy traffic island.
