?Please do not lean or sit?
The condition of the wall is self explanatory; it was probably attacked by a heavy vehicle making its way to the Council depot at the top of the road.

Bilborough: Wigman Road
This view from the roundabout at the end of Hollington Road shows the start of Wigman Road, part of the huge expansion of the western suburbs after the war. The bungalows on the right were built on the foundations of the original Prefabs; further up were prefabricated BISF (British Iron & Steel Federation) semis, with their distinctive first-floor corrugated walling.

West from Woodyard Lane railway bridge
The line from Radford Junction to Trowell, on the Erewash Valley Line, was built as a short cut for trains to and from the north, avoiding the bottleneck at Toton; it also served Wollaton Colliery, beyond the trees, whose site has long been cleared. Fifty or more years ago this was an exciting place for trainspotters as expresses passed at some speed and were usually pulled by Jubilee Class engines with big brass nameplates, such as Nottingham's "Travancore" or "Hong Kong".
