The lower section of the Trent End at the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest Football Club. The stand is supported by those stilts /pillars on the left.

I always look down the River Trent when I drive into work, This morning I thought what a beautiful reflection, just had to pull over and reach for the camera.

Just before full time.

I'm back on the Photography bandwagon! Where better than to road test my new mirrorless camera than my favourite location - the Embankment in Nottingham. I'll never tire of looking at Trent Bridge - especially at night.

The visible fire is frightening when it occured and ripped through the stand. The firemen arrived very quickly, but semed to have little effect on the speed of the fire

The statue of football legend, Brian Clough (1937-2004) just off Nottingham's Old Market Square.

 

Cloughie was one of the highest scoring players in the history of the English leagues, and eventually came to be one of its most respected managers (albeit sometimes begrudgingly). He played for Middlesborough, and Sunderland, and managed at Hartlepool, Derby County, Brighton & Hove Albion, Leeds United, and finally 18 years at Nottingham Forest. He was renowned for his wit, and during his times as their manager he transformed the fortunes of rival teams Derby and Forest. This statue was erected in 2008 to celebrate his time with Forest, funded largely by donations.

Seen unsurprisingly in Nottingham against the backdrop of the quite beautiful Prudential Building. Here's a link to a Nottingham Post article which says it is the most splendid Victorian building in the City - www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-opinion/nine-best-victor...

 

As for Clough, an eccentric genius who could get quite ordinary players to play like world beaters but he did it because of the eye for footballing talent in his assistant Peter Taylor. A film about him 'The Damned United' is an insight into the often controversial man who put both Derby County and Nottingham Forest Football Clubs on the map.

The River Trent reflecting Nottingham Forest F.C. (Trent End) and Trent Bridge, on a murky afternoon in December.

Best viewed large.

This aerial view looks east across the River Trent in Nottingham, one of the city’s defining natural features and a corridor that has shaped its development for centuries. The river flows prominently through the frame, curving past some of Nottingham’s best-known sporting and civic landmarks.

At the centre of the image is the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest Football Club. The stadium sits tightly against the south bank of the Trent, an unusual and visually striking location, and has been the club’s home since 1898. Forest are one of England’s most historic clubs, most famously winning back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980 under Brian Clough. The ground has evolved over time but retains a compact, enclosed character, with stands built close to the pitch.

Immediately across the river is Trent Bridge, one of the most famous cricket venues in the world. Established in the 19th century, it remains a major international test ground and the home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Its proximity to the City Ground creates one of the most distinctive sporting clusters in the UK. Just beyond, slightly set back, is Meadow Lane, home of Notts County Football Club, one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world, founded in 1862.

In the foreground, the nearest crossing of the Trent is Lady Bay Bridge, carrying traffic between Nottingham and West Bridgford. Upstream sits Trent Bridge itself, the historic crossing that gives its name to the cricket ground and surrounding area. These bridges are key links between the city centre and the residential suburbs to the south.

Lower right of the frame lies Nottinghamshire County Hall, a large civic building with a distinctive E-shaped plan and pale green roof. Built in the mid-20th century, it serves as the headquarters of Nottinghamshire County Council and occupies a prominent riverside position. The surrounding roads and landscaped grounds reflect its role as an administrative centre.

Further east, in the distance, beyond the main cluster of stadiums, is Nottingham Racecourse at Colwick Park. The racecourse is identifiable by its long straight and open infield, and it has hosted horse racing here since the 19th century. Adjacent to it are recreational sports pitches and open parkland, forming part of the wider green space along the Trent valley.

The landscape opens out towards Colwick Country Park and the wider Trent floodplain, where water, woodland, and open fields create a softer edge to the urban area. The contrast between dense housing, major sporting venues, and expansive green space is clearly visible from this height.

Overall, the image captures a unique concentration of sporting heritage alongside civic architecture and riverside infrastructure. Few places in the UK bring together football, cricket, and horse racing in such close proximity, all anchored by the River Trent as it winds through Nottingham.

I travelled in hope of getting a ticket from one of the characters I used to see and hear 20 years on Trent Bridge. No such luck this day. Nottingham Forest V Crystal Palace. Had to listen from outside but at least it was dry.

Lesson learned. Get a membership next season.

I was amongst the fans, there were incredible scenes as around 20 thousand Forest fans celebrate promotion and show off the Championship trophy in Nottingham's Old Market Square.

 

Matt Forde and BBC Radio Nottingham commentator Colin Fray interview the players, Head Coach Steve Cooper and the owner Evangelos Marinakis.

 

Quotes...

Colin Fray. "Nottingham Forest are Premier League!!"

Ryan Yates. "It means everything to me but more importantly to you guys (fans)."

Steve Cook. "We'll thank Jon Moss today, what a fucking guy!!... and the Tricky Trees!!"

Brennan Johnson. "Playing for Forest is a dream come true."

Scott McKenna. "I absolutely love it here."

Brice Samba. "It's amazing."

Steve Cooper. "Welcome back to the Premier league!", "You (the fans) are the best.", "It's the most powerful connection I've ever felt in me life."

Evangelos Marinakis, "We are aiming for the top! Trophies are coming."

 

And then the celebrations erupt! - Youuuuu Reds!

Just can't get enough!

2.20pm. Photographed from the Bridge which creates the county border between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, Hull Trains 802301 "Amy Johnson" heads 1H03 a London St. Pancras to Hull service.

 

The road bridge in the background is the Brian Clough Way, named in honour of the football manager who managed both Nottingham Forest and Derby County during his illustrious career. In the extreme distance are the now defunct cooling towers of Ratcliffe Power Station, the UK's last coal powered power station which closed in September 2024. Under the bridge to the right is DB Cargo UK's Toton depot and to the left can be seen the line of decommissioned Class 60, 66 and 67 locos.

 

The southbound Freightliner is 6M01 a Doncaster to Southampton working with GB Railfreight 66742 "Port of Immingham Centenary 1912 - 2012" up front. The train was running some 20 minutes ahead of its scheduled time to pass Toton and was held on a Red Signal for almost 25 minutes.

  

Looking over the River Trent at the Trent End of the City Ground, the home of Nottingham Forest Football Club, in West Bridgford, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.

 

Nottingham Forest moved to their new ground on 3 September 1898 – 33 years after their formation and six years after election to the Football League. To raise the £3,000 required to finance the move the club asked members, supporters and businessmen to subscribe to "New Ground Scheme" bearer bonds which cost £5 each. Over £2,000 was raised this way.

 

The new ground was called the City Ground. It was only a few hundred yards from the old Town Ground at the opposite end of Trent Bridge, which had been named after the Town Arms pub. Nottingham was granted its Charter as a City in 1897 and it was called the City Ground to commemorate this as the land on which it stands was at that time within the City boundary. In 1952 boundary changes resulted in the ground coming under the local council of West Bridgford rather than the City. Opposite the City Ground, still within the City boundaries, lies Meadow Lane, home of Notts County. The City Ground was wide open on three sides with no protection from the weather but the pitch was one of the finest in the country. This was due to the presence on the committee of J. W. Bardill, a nurseryman whose family firm still exists in Stapleford near Nottingham and whose company was given the task of preparing the pitch.
