Cycle Route 6 on Orston Drive
This and neighbouring streets are part of the Sutton Passeys Conservation Area. This was social housing, mainly bungalows built in the 1920s using novel methods of metal frames and cast concrete, with a layout following the Garden City Movement. http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=25587&p=0

Junction of Orston and Fairham Drives in Wollaton, Nottingham
This photo was taken from the roundabout at the junction of Orston and Fairham Drives in Wollaton, Nottingham. The two semi-detached bungalows are absolutely typical of the housing in the small, pleasant area either side of Middleton Boulevard (also known as the ring road). The view looks towards the back of the Jubilee campus of Nottingham University (built on the site of the old Raleigh Factory), but the only part visible in this image (just above the tree-line in the middle of the photo) is the very top of the new Aspire sculpture [(http://aspire.nottingham.ac.uk/)]; the photo was taken about 10 days after the sculpture was erected.

Hawton Crescent
These circular cast iron road name signs are a particular Nottingham feature. This is an early one with the lettering in a sans serif face. The stop-valve and Hydrant markers are also a standard Nottingham City Water Works cast iron pattern.

Jubilee Campus - visitors are welcome
The University takes an enlightened view of allowing the public to roam the campus, although it would be difficult to enclose it due to the number of rights of way which traverse it.
The building is the National College for School Leadership.

Middleton Boulevard, looking north from near Lime Tree Avenue
This was one of the earliest parts of the Nottingham ring road to be constructed, as part of the new housing estates created from the late 1920s in what had been the eastern part of Wollaton Park.
