River Leen, Old Radford
The photograph is taken from the corner of Hartley Road and St Peters Street. Maun Avenue is on the left. This housing development was built on the site of Radford Folly, an 18th-century pleasure garden. The Folly itself - an octagonal tower - survived, in ruins, into the 1950s. For a description of the Radford Grove pleasure gardens, see the Nottinghamshire History website http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/whatnall1928/radford_folly.htm .

Old Radford: swans and cygnets on the Leen
In my childhood after the war the much-straightened Leen was wider here, and much polluted by dyeing and bleaching works and other factories upstream. For a wider, non-zoom view from the same place in less leafy November 2009, see Image], which shows the houses built on brownfield sites either side of the river in the last part of the twentieth century.

River Leen, Radford
The River Leen, whose name is believed to be a corruption of the Celtic word llyn (lake), flows southwards from its source in the Robin Hood Hills (near Kirkby in Ashfield) to the River Trent south of Lenton ('Leen-ton').

River Leen at Maun Avenue
It's hard to imagine that this tranquil spot was until the 1960s next to a colliery. Old photos of Radford Colliery show this concrete-post-and-iron-rail fence. Maun Avenue and the other streets of houses to the right were built in the 1970s on colliery and railway land. In the 18th century, though, this was Radford Grove http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/whatnall1928/radford_folly.htm , a fashionable pleasure garden, and Radford Folly, a stuccoed brick tower, survived in ruins into the 1950s, in a sea of colliery spoil.

Bin men on Radford Grove Lane
In the 18th century Radford Grove Lane led down to Radford Folly, a fashionable pleasure garden by the banks of the Leen (see http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/whatnall1928/radford_folly.htm ). In the last century, the background of this view was dominated by the tall Players cigarette factory on the far side of Churchfield Lane, now demolished and the site of a retail park. The trees on the right are in Radford churchyard. Image] shows the Churchfield Lane end of this row of houses.

The brown-brick houses on Knighton Avenue, Woodstock Avenue, Kingsford Avenue and the west side of Churchfield Lane are all of a piece, with these distinctive half-timbered gables.
