River Leen Old Basford

Nottingham is renowned for it's River....The River Trent.

This is the River Leen, winding it's way through 'industrial Old Basford'...or what remains of 'industrial Old Basford'

I used to cross the little bridge on my daily commute to the West Midlands. Now I work in Old Basford, Nottingham, it's only a 10 minute walk from school.

You cannot get down to water level, so this is all I can do to catch and share a bit of industrial Nottingham

I like the drainpipe that stops in mid air !

Great pov

Interesting how the river goes between the two buildings. I like the mossy walls.

[Pat Knowles]

This is rather unusual the way that little river, which I image gets much wider as it gets into the country, is channelled through these old industrial buildings. the water even from this angle looks fresh & clean!

@happypat thanks Pat, the area I work in is really interesting, it should provide lots of photo opportunities ...i think the river was probably diverted to provide water for the factory buildings

@busylady the mossy walls are gr8 judith

High Phil nice shot of an unusual location .. If walls could talk these old walls could tell a tale

[Maggiemae]

In olden times they used to use water for driving things. Perhaps they did this here?

[Phil Howcroft]

@maggiemae thanks maggie, i am sure in days gone by they used the water for the factories

@fannyb Fanny, it's all fenced off, you cannot get down there ......i'd have loved to have got down for a good POV
