More about this scene
Accessed from both Main Street behind and from Church Road, the A612, behind the camera, the Wheatsheaf pub still thrives. Built in the 1930s in yellow brick, it also has areas of weatherboarding, and the terrace is still in use. Beyond we can see some of the 1950s houses fronting Main Street.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
One of the self-closing 'kissing gates' where the watercourse from under the Cattle Arch (St Helen's Grove) reaches the Trent. All the riverside land was owned by Nottingham Corporation (Stoke Farm or Bulcote Farm) back then but now Severn-Trent, I believe. A favourite walk, for many, along the bank of the river.
I started school here in September 1966. I remember driving up in my dad's van from the Crossing House at 23 Trent Lane where we lived for my first Day in Mrs Marson's class. The first year classroom was at the far end of the school in this picture.
