Bilborough Road
I think this short stretch of road must be part of the original Bilborough Road, now bypassed by the modern road (just visible on the left of the photo). There are about 10 or so houses on this (western) side of the road; presumably this section of the old road has been retained here to give these houses some protection from the new road.

Bilborough Road
Much has changed since this 1976 view. What is now the A6002, providing a fairly fast road around the western edge of Nottingham, was then the B6004 and not much more than a country lane. This is the junction with Bramhall Road, where the vast Bilborough Estate gives way to Trowell Moor - green belt land that has not been built on to this day. Note the blue bus stop flag; this was a rare survivor from the days before Midland General was taken over by Trent and the standard National Bus Company style flag was adopted. It marked the terminus of a service from Nottingham that, by 1976, only operated at peak times - it was listed in timetables as 'Strelley Lane', which presumably refers to the bridleway that can be seen leading off just before the first house. Trent ceased to run here a few years after the photograph was taken.

Boundary marker, Bilborough Road
This has been moved, probably unofficially, from its original location on the opposite side of the lane just visible in the foreground. It is one of the standard cast iron markers erected by the City as part of the boundary revision of 1933.
