Stoke Bardolph is a village located in the county of Nottinghamshire, England. It lies about 5 miles east of the city of Nottingham, and is situated on the banks of the River Trent. The village is part of the Gedling borough and has a population of around 400 people.

Stoke Bardolph is known for its picturesque countryside setting, with rolling hills, green fields, and meandering waterways. The River Trent, which flows through the village, provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. The nearby Attenborough Nature Reserve is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

Site of Stoke Bardolph Ferry A note on a nearby plaque tells us that the ferry was still in operation in the 1960s. It is recorded that a ferry was here in the 13th century.

Colwick Yard Complex View WNW from the footbridge over the line to the adjoining ex-LNW locomotive shed, to the western part of the vast ex-LNER Colwick Yards and towards Gedling etc. on the Nottingham Avoiding Line. The signalbox is Locomotive Junction, the great ex-GNR Locomotive Depot, with an allocation of over 200 engines is off to the left. It was a very difficult complex to access from public roads. My car is in the foreground. Fifty years ago, this was a very major railway centre, dealing with an immense freight traffic, especially coal, but all has long since gone in the modern age.

Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. This memorial garden - Rockley Memorial Park - and a parallel cliff-top path overlooking the River Trent (behind these benches and trees) was gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son who was killed at Ypres during WWI. The park was opened in 1927. In addition to two access gates from the cliff-top path, this garden can also be accessed from nearby Park Road, off Shelford Road (i.e. the Radcliffe-Shelford road).

Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. Mature trees in Rockley Memorial Gardens, Park Road. Park Road is off Shelford Road (i.e. the road between Radcliffe and Shelford). The gardens were gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son who was killed during WWI. Several plaques on the rear wall of this rain shelter provide details of the locations of trees and shrubs; recognition of the four gardeners who have tended this oasis since 1927 and a memorial plaque referring to the death of Lt. Wm. Lisle Rockley and his comrades who fell at Ypres. There are also two entrance/exit gates (ahead) onto a nearby cliff-top path overlooking the River Trent.

Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. These steps connect a footpath that runs past Rockley Memorial Gardens (off Park Road) with a flood plain area at the side of the River Trent located behind the photographer. The section of the cliff-top path at the top of these steps is part of the Trent Valley Path extending here between Radcliffe and Gibbet Hill. The pathway up above follows the course of a 15-20ft wide strip of open land running parallel with the river for several miles, albeit at a much higher level. The path, with views over the River Trent, together with Rockley Memorial Park was gifted to the town's inhabitants by Mr Lisle Rockley in memory of his son, who was killed at Ypres during WWI.

Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. A lake on the flood plain on the eastern bank of the River Trent close to Stoke Weir. It seems hard to determine whether this is a natural lake or whether it was created in the past as the result of the extraction of gravel for use in the concrete production for use the nearby concrete-lined moorings and navigational channels near the weir? Ramblers can reach Stoke weir ahead via a riverside path to the left of this picture (a 3-4 minute walk) and 7-8 minutes walk away, behind the photographer, walkers would normally expect to find themselves at the foot of a series of steps leading up a moderately steep embankment onto the Trent Valley Path, near Rockley Memorial Park (off Park Road), Radcliffe.

Radcliffe-on-Trent, Notts. The almost obligatory navigational route by-passing Stoke Weir. Canoeists are legally permitted to traverse the moderately shallow weir (by weaving between the chain of safety buoys) towards Stoke Lock, although doing so is done "entirely at the canoeist's own risk"
