In October 1982 Paul Bexon took this shot from the grounds of Nottingham Castle looking southwards and taking in part of the Meadows area of Nottingham. In the foreground of the 1982 photograph is land occupied by the railway and beyond it the Royal Ordnance Factory.

Below is much the same scene as it now looked in 2011. Clicking on either photograph gives you access to a larger version of the photograph.
