Coleby Road
The main road through Broxtowe Estate. Developed in the late 1930s, the houses with their hipped tiled roofs are typical of Nottingham from the period. The estate has, like many similar ones around the country, suffered from remaining a residual estate while others have prospered more.

Broxtowe Lane at Coleby Road
An area developed as a large council estate in the late 1930s and after the war. This is a typical small shopping parade, of which there are a number.

Broxtowe Lane
This is an important through road through the western estates of Nottingham. Clear light after rain, and autumn leaves make an attractive picture in what is not one of Nottingham's more attractive suburbs.

Roundabout at the south end of Bells Lane estate
Bells Lane estate is one of the earlier Nottingham council estates, dating from the 1930s. This roundabout marks the southern edge of the estate, where Bells Lane itself (along which the two cars are heading on the left) diverges from Broxtowe Lane (right). Rosslyn Drive, part of the even older Aspley estate, joins the roundabout out of view to the right.

West end of Eltham Drive, Bells Lane estate
As it passes the end of Eltham Close (left), Eltham Drive begins to climb and bend quite sharply to reach Amesbury Circus. Bells Lane estate was built in the 1930s; while the houses are built of the rich orange red brick so characteristic of Nottingham council houses of the period, those here are far more conservatively styled than many on the neighbouring (and slightly older) Aspley estate.

Bus turning onto Broxtowe Lane
One of Nottingham City Transport's large fleet of Scania/East Lancs OmniDekkas waits to make the hard right turn from Sherborne Road onto Broxtowe Lane. It is operating on route 78, which passes through the hearts of Aspley and Broxtowe estates on its way to Strelley estate, encountering a great many speed humps on its way. At this point it leaves Aspley estate, using a short length of Broxtowe Lane to reach Coleby Road, by which it enters Broxtowe estate.
