Park Estate: on Newcastle Drive
The private Park Estate was developed in the 19th century for the Duke of Newcastle. Its many Grade II listed buildings include Regency, mid- and late-Victorian houses and some modern ones. The land slopes steeply down from Derby Road (high above right) and The Ropewalk to the wide Trent Valley below.

174 Derby Road
Built as the headquarters and drill hall for several local volunteer regiments in around 1910, one of the grandest of its kind in the country. After ceasing to be used by the Territorial Army, it became the western sorting and delivery office for the Post Office in Nottingham, before being converted to apartments around 1985. Listed Grade II.

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.
