More about this scene

Re-crossing the Trent at Gunthorpe, the route turns back towards Nottingham along the busy A612 to Burton Joyce, where the river sweeps close to the road. The village has grown rapidly in the 20th century east and west along and parallel to the main road and northwards along the valley of a small stream. This view looks along Meadow Lane, which continues behind the photographer across Church Road, the A612, to the banks of the Trent. On the left is the flat-roofed 1960s Burton Joyce Library, and in the distance is 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.
