Chadwick Road, NOTTINGHAM, NG7 5NN

These houses date from the late 1930s, when Nottingham expanded westwards beyond its Victorian edge. Mass car ownership was not envisaged then and these houses were built with without garages - hence the street parking and paved front gardens.

The narrowest part of the twitchel past Lindley & Lindley's factory.

Partly footpath and partly suburban street, Plantation Side runs from Alfreton Road Bobbers Mill to Gauntley Street, near the former Gerard's Soap Works. This is the narrow footpath between parts of the Lindley & Lindley complex, looking towards Alfreton Road.

Victorian red-brick terraced houses on the left-hand side and rendered inter-wars municipal housing on the right.

The north end, seen from near the junction with Darley Road.

Looking from the Darley Road end towards Alfreton Road on a gloomy September morning. These houses were built in the late 1930s as Nottingham expanded westwards beyond its Victorian edge. The builders may not have envisaged the addition of a Doric colonnade to the front of the house on the left.

Demolition of the former Lindley & Lindley factory site - latterly a business park - has been going on for some years and the large-windowed building with a sawtooth northlight roof is the only significant part remaining, the rest having been reduced to neat piles of broken brick. In this foreshortened zoom shot from Bobbers Mill Bridge the foreground is taken up with containers and lifts on the former woodyard; beyond Lindley & Lindley houses on Darley Road slope up to Bobbers Mill Road; behind them is St Stephen's Church, with its bellcote and spiky spire, and in the distance on the left Mount Street Mill on the top of the ridge which starts at Bobbers Mill and divides Radford, Hyson Green and Forest Fields from New Basford.

The Darley Road end of the twitchel which winds through the former Lindley & Lindley site. The houses ahead are on the middle part of Plantation Side, which is a road.

The southern end of Plantation Side (straight ahead) is a narrow twitchel between high brick walls - and once, further on, the buildings of Lindley & Lindley's hosiery works. The backs of houses on Chadwick Road are on the skyline. Like those of Darley Avenue on the right, they were built in the 1930s.
