More about this scene

Although they are outside the City of Nottingham's boundaries, Carlton and Gedling are really its eastern suburbs. This view was taken just east of the railway bridge over Burton Road, which led to the now-closed Arnold Colliery. The green now has five ash trees and a modern phone box. The houses on the left are part of the Coronation Walk estate, which was built soon after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The shop is now an off-licence and convenience store.
