Holly Wood. Another example of a photo being taken just too late and just missing the target! The Bilborough Arm ran through here, just off the picture to the right, an independent canal connecting with the Nottingham Canal above the Wollaton Locks. It seems to have been a fiasco, the coal mines it was meant to serve soon closing (none in the area on Sanderson's 1835 map).

Perhaps the only photo we're ever going to see of the trackway that ran from Strelley to Old Park. Some think this could have been the route of Huntingdon Beaumont's pioneering railway of 1604, which ran from pits at Strelley to "Wollaton Lane End", location unknown but somewhere convenient for Nottingham coal merchants of the time. It is one of the earliest known railways in Britain.

Looks to run from here through the development to "Old Coach Road" which runs almost to Wollaton Hall. Faint traces can be seen across the development in this image.

This area is marked on Sanderson's map (1835) as "coal wharf", and is the head of a railway leading to the Robinett's Arm of the Nottingham Canal about a mile away. With the eye of faith, the vague line running leftwards from here could be a trace of that railway.
