The twitchel from Porchester Road to the Wells Roa

The twitchel from Porchester Road to the Wells Road with the Kingsthorpe Close flats in the distance.
The image is probably from the early 1970s. The land was known as Taylor's Fields and ran between the main Mapperley Hospital and the Thorneywood Adolescent Unit.
Mickleborough Avenue was developed from 1976 and the Landmere Gardens development in the 1980s.
Kingsthorpe Close had 120 flats. It was demolished in 2010.
The top section of steps and metal posts still exists.

On the subject of the old railways, here's the Nottingham Suburban Railway bridge over Thackerays Lane at the bottom of Breck Hill Road in Woodthorpe. Image is probably 1960s as the bridge and embankment were removed in the mid 1970s. Raibank Gardens was named as a reminder. #mapperleyhistory #woodthorpenottingham #woodthorpehistory #mapperleynottingham #railwayhistory #oldrailways

Advertising in a Nottingham Street Plan from 1930

Advertising in a Nottingham Street Plan from 1930 was an Electrical Engineer at 118 Sandford Road Mapperley. T.F. Ebblewhite, B.Sc specialised in Power, Lighting, Heating and Wireless (presumably radio and not broadband internet!)
Maybe there are relatives still in the area?
The other advertiser at Daybrook Bridge would have been by the railway bridge over Mansfield Road. This was at the site of where Homebase is now in the Madford Retail Park

18th Feb 2017. This video was taken at the entrance to Gedling Colliery as the area is cleared in preparation for the Glebe Farm housing development. The clip looks across what is now Waldrom Road to the Scot Grave Farm building which dates from 1903. #glebefarm #gedlingcolliery #gedlingnottingham #arnoldlane #scotgravefarm #mininghistory

Two views over Arnold High School and then Arnold

Two views over Arnold High School and then Arnold Hill Comprehensive School.
The first is from 1960 looking from Woodthorpe towards Darlton Drive. There is no lower school or Christ the King School, which would be built on the farmland beyond the running track.
The second from the 1970s is from a different direction looking from Arnold towards Mapperley Plains. It shows The Arrow Pub when the building was shaped like an arrowhead.
