Seaford Avenue - Nottingham
I think this road will be classed as in the district of Wollaton. This picture of houses getting smaller into the distance taken on the day when the news was of house prices getting smaller into the future!

Radford Bridge Road: the north side of the railway bridge
The bridge carries the line from Radford Junction to Trowell Junction on the Erewash Valley Line, which was built in 1875 to enable trains to and from the north to avoid the bottlenecks at Trent and Toton. It also served Wollaton Colliery (1873-1965). The substantial blue-brick abutments show that the bridge was once much wider. It once carried three more tracks, known as Babbington Sidings. From the 19th century until the building of Western Boulevard and the houses either side of it in the 1930s, a railway linking Babbington (Cinderhill) Colliery and the Nottingham Canal at a wharf immediately south of Wollaton Road crossed the Radford-Trowell main line at right angles on the level just east of where Western Boulevard bridge now stands. Babbington Sidings were connected to that line, but the connexion was out of use by the time the 1914-16 OS map was surveyed. For other vestiges of the Babbington Colliery line, see Image], Image], Image], Image], Image] and Image For a view of the other side of the bridge and a little about Radford Woodhouse, see Image

Radford Bridge Road: the south side of the railway bridge
The bridge carries the line from Radford Junction to Trowell Junction on the Erewash Valley Line, which was built by the Midland Railway in 1875 to enable trains to and from the north to avoid the bottlenecks at Trent and Toton. It also served Wollaton Colliery (1873-1965). This area was once called Radford Woodhouse, but its three Victorian terraces (to the right), Gate, Vane and Leavers Street, were demolished long ago and replaced more recently by streets named after railway locomotive engineers: Aspinall Court, Lambie Close and Peppercorn Gardens. None of these designers had any connexion with the Midland, so the council officials who chose them were less on-the-ball than when naming streets on former Great Northern Railway land at Sneinton after Gresley and Ivatt.

West from Western Boulevard Bridge
This is the line from Radford Junction to Trowell Junction on the Erewash Valley Line, which was built to enable trains to and from the north to avoid the bottlenecks at Trent and Toton. For a view towards here from Woodyard Lane, see Image The railway formation here, overgrown to the right, is wider than the current double track as from the 19th century until the building of Western Boulevard and the houses either side, it was the site of Babbington Sidings, which ran parallel to the main line almost as far west as Woodyard Lane. The railway serving these sidings linked Babbington (Cinderhill) Colliery and the Nottingham Canal at a wharf immediately south of Wollaton Road and crossed this line on the level east of this bridge - see Image For other vestiges of the Babbington Colliery line, see Image], Image], Image], Image], and Image]
