Mapperley Top, Nottingham
Looking out across rooftops at Mapperley Top in Nottingham. Mapperley is part of the suburban borough of Gedling. Situated on a raised plateau, it overlooks the city giving views of some 18 miles to the River Trent and the power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar. On clear days and from certain view points, 'Beaver' Castle on the Nottingham - Leicestershire border can also be seen. The area was largely developed during the inter-war period swallowing up many acres of farmland and the old 'coppice' to create the suburb of Mapperley as it largely exists today.
