Grundy Street
From the corner of Fretwell Street. Until new residential streets were built to the west of Bobbers Mill Road and Churchfield Lane in the late 1930s, these streets were on the edge of Radford.

Alfreton Road: Beauty Spot Cosmetics
There's a fine display of wigs in the right-hand window. I have the feeling that this was the toy shop when I grew up in this area in the years after the war.

Alfreton Road: no longer a crossroads
The road layout is being altered to prevent traffic from Bobbers Mill Road (on the left) and Churchfield Lane (to the right) crossing Alfreton Road. A No 77 bus is on its way to Strelley Estate. The left side of Alfreton Road is a typical Nottingham three-storey terrace of the 1880s; the other side was developed in the late 1930s.

Alfreton Road near Churchfield Lane
Between the Polish-owned motor mechanic's yard and Tesco Express and McDonald's on the corner of Churchfield Lane is a Polish restaurant in the part of the building which was Crafts' fish-and-chip shop in the fifties and sixties, when I lived in nearby Newquay Avenue.

Shops on Alfreton Road
I don't suppose this little parade of shops is known as The Front any more, as it was when I was a child in the 1950s. In those days the boarded-up cement-fronted Art Deco building on the right housed Craft's fish-and-chip shop. The gabled brick buildings were once home (among others) to an exciting toy shop and Searcy's radio shop. The Co-op greengrocery, the chemist's and others I can't remember, further down, have been demolished.

Up Bobbers Mill Road on an overcast morning
Like Churchfield Lane (behind the camera) Bobbers Mill Road marks a boundary between Victorian and Edwardian Nottingham and the huge westward expansion of the city's suburbs which began in the 1930s and continued in the years after the War.
