An April morning in Aspley Lane
Aspley Lane leads to the western suburbs of Aspley, Broxtowe, Strelley and Bilborough. New leaves, but not the overcast sky, gave a springlike feel.

Speedo and Collins
The nearer buildings are part of the Ascot Works of the Speedo swimwear company. The long building behind is no longer in the textile business but instead houses a large Cash and Carry business

An overcast morning in Ascot Road
The demolition of the former Ascot Works in spring 2013 opened up a view across the railway. The nearer trees are on the site of Radford Colliery, which closed in the early 1960s. Image] (November 2009) and Image] (September 2011) give an idea of what has gone. Collins' Cash and Carry, on the right, housed in a former cardboard-box factory, remains.

Bobbers Mill: Ascot Road as it was
This fairly dull 2009 picture has acquired some small historical value since Ascot Works - on the right - was demolished in May 2013. Collins Cash & Carry occupies the former factory building on the left. Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows Ascot Works from Bobbers Mill Bridge; my Image] and Image] show the site after demolition. The Wheatsheaf, straight ahead on the corner of Nuthall Road and Aspley Lane, has closed since this photograph was taken.
