In a grand suburb consisting mainly of substantial late Victorian and Edwardian houses, this large bungalow on the corner of Hatfield Road and Sefton Drive, built perhaps in the 1950s or 60s, is the exception.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Mapperley Park, long the home of Nottingham's prosperous, is the quintessential leafy suburb. This is the junction of Mapperley Hall Drive and Old Hall Drive, a steep and narrow cul de sac at the top end of which my Auntie Ethel and Uncle Harold lived in the 1960s.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Clawson Lodge was a private house designed by the distinctive local architect Watson Fothergill. Even this little entrance gate shows specific hallmarks - the black timbering, the red-tiled roof, and in particular the style of lettering used for the name carved into the gate-stones. The letters are created by carving out the background, the letters themselves being flush with the face of the stone, and of a style derived clearly from medieval manuscript illustration.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Mansfield Road, Sherwood. The [[1211418]] foundation stone tells about as much as I can find. There is another set of homes just two street corners away.
