Nottingham Canal and Colliery 1963
Accessed by way of Woodyard Lane, the Nottingham Canal climbed by a succession of locks to reach its summit level close by Wollaton Colliery. At this time, in 1963, many of the lock gates had been vandalised and many were missing. Today, it is hard to comprehend that this scene existed, since now the area has been covered by modern housing.

Torvill Drive
Torvill Drive is a long and meandering road to the north of Russell Drive. I presume it is named after the ice dancer who won an Olympic gold medal in the 1980's.

Houses, Bridge Road, Wollaton
These old cottages, now heavily gentrified, were once, I think, something to do with the old Nottingham canal, which used to run very close to here (hence, presumably, the name of the road - the nearest bridge now is over 1 kilometre away).

Enjoy your visit? . . . If you dare!
This sign in the wooded north west corner of the nature reserve reminds visitors to respect both their own safety and that of the environment while still inviting them to enjoy themselves. Note how close the urban sprawl is, just visible through the trees.
See http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/www/greenspaces/Docs/MartinsPondmap.pdf for a map of the site.
