Typical detached houses built when the city expanded westwards from the 1930s onwards. The trees mark the edge of some of the many allotments which border Western Boulevard.

Western Boulevard: Beechdale Road junction
This view north from the railway bridge shows traffic stopping at the Beechdale Road lights. Western Boulevard, part of the ring road, was built in the 1930s at the beginning of the huge westward expansion of the city before and after the war. Until then, Beechdale Road was a footpath from Radford to Bilborough. The Baths are out-of-picture to the left, Robert Shaw Primary School and the Ainsley Estate to the right. Fifty-odd years ago I was nearly knocked off my bike here when turning right to go down the twitchel on to the estate.

Holbeck Road: a railway long ago
An uninteresting picture of part of an electricity sub-station and some gravel - but to those interested in Nottingham's railway history there is more to it. 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 ran north and south here. Its course is marked by the eastern edge of the allotments to the left and the western boundary of the Girls' High School (formerly John Player & Sons) sports ground (beyond the garden hedge on the right).
