Newland Close, Wollaton
Newland Close runs parallel with Western Boulevard (part of Nottingham's ring road) near the north eastern edge of Wollaton. However, while the latter road rises to cross the Radford Junction to Trowell Junction railway line on a bridge, Newland Close remains level, and comes to an abrupt end where it meets the railway boundary fence (just visible in the distance). The terraces of four houses, with semihexagonal porches providing access to the middle dwellings, are typical of pre Second World War council estates in Nottingham, as is the circular street sign visible on the right. This estate is effectively cut in half by Western Boulevard, and is bounded to the north and east by the railway, to the south by Wollaton Road, and to the west by the now obliterated course of the Nottingham Canal.

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]

Beechdale Swimming Centre - Strange growth
There are no windows in this strange protuberance, just two air bricks in the wall parallel to the building. I wonder what it looks like from the inside.

Approaching Radford Junction, Wollaton
The railway line from Trowell Junction as it approaches Radford Junction (where it joins the line from Mansfield to head through Lenton into Nottingham), seen from the Western Boulevard bridge. Ainsley Estate is to the left, while an expanse of allotments is visible on the right beyond the roof of the garage block. Two high rise blocks of flats in Radford tower conspicuously above the fairly flat skyline.
