New bungalows
On the site of a small market stall area. Not sure how old these are but in the last year or two I'd say.
Previously: SK5336 : Unused Market Stalls SK5336 : Beeston Market.
Old footbridge
I'm amazed to see that this is still marked as such on the OS map. The channel here has been funded for at least 20 years, and the steel bridge frame is slowly rotting. Here it is 12 years ago SK5233 : Old Footbridge Attenborough
Rusty pole
This spot looks quite a lot different than 12 and a half years ago SK5234 : Private Fishing on the Trent. Or even 9 SK5234 : Old fishing sign beside the Trent
Beeston: The Malt Shovel
A former Shipstone's house, on Union Road off Beeston High Road, photographed on a warm Saturday evening in September.
Beeston Rylands: Turner Violins, Lily Grove
The firm offers new and antique instruments and specialises in the sale and restoration of fine violins, violas, cellos, double basses and their bows.
Beeston Rylands: along Trafalgar Road
Looking from the corner of Meadow Road on a warm early-September evening.
Petrol station development
This former petrol station has been a hand car wash as long as I can remember and possibly has not been a filling station for 15 - 20 years. The earliest Google Street View from '08 shows cars being washed! Link
Finally looks like housing is on the way.
Finally looks like housing is on the way.
At a tight corner
The tram slowed almost to a stand still as it turned this tight corner.
Central College
The tram stop sign says Central College whilst the map says Centre College - I am not sure if they are just different parts of the same college.
Middle Street
At this point the tramway shares the road with normal traffic and there are houses close to both.
