The corner of First Avenue and Sherwood Rise
First, Second and Third Avenues were some of the first suburban developments north of The Forest, with some substantial houses dating from c 1850-70, the period of the Borough's initial expansion after the Enclosure Act of 1845. The striking west front of the Polish Church of Our Lady of Czestochow is on the other side of Sherwood Rise.

One of the few
The pole on the right is one of (literally) a handful of traction poles used to support the old tramway and later trolleybus overhead wires. This one survived because it had some other cable attached to it. This has now been cut away, but presumably it's not worth the cost of removing the pole. This was Nottingham's final trolleybus route.
