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.

Hawton Crescent
Part of the Wollaton Park Estate. The brown coloured roofs are the original ones, many having been replaced with more modern materials. These houses are interesting in having steel frames with precast concrete panels. The design was originally intended to be applied to all the City Council's housing developments at the time, but after the construction of this Estate, more traditional brick buildings were erected.

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.

A wet morning in Sutton Passeys Crescent
The estate, largely of bungalows, either side of Middleton Boulevard was built in the late 1920s. In the middle ages Sutton Passeys was a village, part of the parish of Radford, but it was lost when Wollaton Park was enclosed. The copse showing above the roofs on the left is Hawton Spinney.
