Ainsley Road: roundabout redevelopment
There have been changes since I was last here in August 2010 (Image]), but quite what they are in aid of is not clear, so I shall have to return.

Northdown Road
Private houses were built at this end of the Ainsley Estate. The first of the council houses on Northdown Road are in the distance, where the road curves to the right. The Woodlands flats dominate the Radford skyline in the way the now demolished John Player & Sons cigarette factory once did. To their left is the spire of All Saints' Church, still further away.

Ainsley Road
This small council estate to the east of Western Boulevard was laid out in the late 1930s. I wondered if this concrete structure was an air-raid shelter entrance, but my friend Tim Dale, who lived nearby in the fifties and sixties, thinks it is something to do with the drainage system.

Grassington Road: former beer-off
This detached house on the corner of Grassington and Northdown Roads was, as the faded painted signs for Whitbread and Guinness show, once a corner off-licence (or beer-off, as Nottinghamians called them). In the High and Far-off Times, under-age drinkers could buy pint bottles of Shipstone's Nutbrown Ale to drink whilst idling away the evening on the street corner opposite.

Bismillah Boutique, Ainsley Estate
Located on the corner of Northdown Road (left) and Grassington Road in Ainsley Estate, this distinctive building was presumably some sort of grocery shop before it became a boutique. According to Wikipedia, "Bismillah" is an Arabic phrase meaning "in the name of God", and is perhaps best known in the English speaking world for its presence in the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

New Bridge to Northdown Road
This short twitchel links New Bridge and Northdown Road. Fifty years and more ago I hared along it most evenings, having skidded round the hairpin bend at the bottom of the lane from the bridge shown in Image] or lugged my bike down the steps (possibly a short cut, saving the second or two vital to twelve-year-olds), to watch the Waverley Express pass Robert Shaw Playing Field on the curve west of Radford Station.

Southfield Road and the playing field entrance
Council-built houses on Southfield Road. The Ainsley Estate was planned before the Second World War but not completed until after it, as Nottingham continued to expand westwards. Image] shows the rear of these houses.
