These houses were built on what had been the large gardens of some of the substantial villas built c 1850-70, when First, Second and Third Avenues were established as some of the first part of the new suburb north of The Forest, part of the Borough's expansion after the Enclosure Act of 1845.

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.
