Looking into Nottingham along Hucknall Lane. Immediately behind the black car is the former bus terminus Link traditionally known as 'City Boundary', created in 1935 when the trolleybus service was extended to serve the then new Bulwell Hall Estate which can be seen on the right.
Note the boundary marker on the left Link
Nottingham boundary markers :: SK5641

The boundary of the City of Nottingham is marked with over 20 cast iron markers in a distinctive semicircular form with rounded top. The majority date from the expansion of the city in 1933, but there are a number of older ones, including some delineating parish boundaries between different Poor Law boards in the 19th century. The earliest is dated 1849.
The markers include a number erected by Carlton Urban District Council, generally as a twin to a Nottingham one, although in many cases the twin has disappeared.
Overall nearly 50 locations are shown on OS maps, but a number have disappeared and the existence of others is difficult to ascertain as they are located in private gardens, etc.
