Bobbers Mill: Alfreton Road old and new
The tarmac in the foreground is Alfreton Road, which becomes Bobbers Mill Bridge where the slope begins on the left of the picture. Bobbers Mill Bridge, built in the late 1930s at the same time as Western Boulevard as the city expanded westwards, replaced the old Alfreton Road, straight ahead, where there was once a level crossing over the Nottingham-Mansfield railway. The houses on the right are the same design as others in the area and also date from the late 1930s. The former Lindley & Lindley factory shown in

Lynmouth Crescent
Straight, with turning circles at their ends, neither Lynmouth Crescent nor Truro Crescent is a true crescent, as I learned at Berridge Road Junior School.

Bobbers Mill Bridge and Alfreton Road
Looking towards the city towards the end of the rush hour on a misty April Tuesday, with plenty of parking spaces in the city-centre multi-storeys. To the left is the parapet of the part of the bridge which crosses the River Leen. A City Transport Turquoise Line No 77 is making for Aspley Lane and Strelley.

Alfreton Road: approaching Churchfield Lane
The semi-detached houses on the right and those behind them on Newquay Avenue, Lynmouth and Truro Crescents were built in the late 1930s, as was the Capitol Cinema (now a gospel church), whose tower shows over the tiled roofs. The KFC outlet on the corner of Churchfield Lane is a more recent addition; it stands where there were once lock-up garages and advertising hoardings.

Newquay Avenue: 2023 Coronation decorations
I lived on Newquay Avenue as a child and remember the flags and bunting flying from almost every house on Coronation Day in 1953. Seventy years on times have changed and I saw almost no outward signs of enthusiasm for the event in Nottingham in the days before it. This time the house behind the white car was the only one on Newquay Avenue with flags and pictures of the King.

A misty morning in Newquay Avenue
A view towards Churchfield Lane and Alfreton Road, with the former Capitol Cinema, now a gospel church, on the right. The air-raid shelter has had a coat of masonry paint since I last passed this way.
