I've been along Western Boulevard and past the island so many times,on my way to work 2000-2011,sometimes to QMC or wollaton Park etc.Always try and avoid during rush hours,not very busy at 5.30 in the morning or late at night though.Oh and I've been in the Crown Pub a few times too.

Thanks for posting  @Piethagoram

It still doesn't look the safest of places even back then.

This picture is truly fascinating, as it captures a place that I am quite familiar with, yet showcases a view unlike anything I have ever seen before. I recently found pictures of my former Senior School that was knocked down after I had left it and some members of that group shared photos of the area. Such as Aspley, Broxtowe and Beachdale.

my aunt and uncle used to live on ringwood cresent which is very close to crown island.

old pictures of nottingham are something i like to see, it shows things were like before and that comparison can be very interesting. i dont like crown island either. ????

This was my regular bus journey home from town. Always dreaded getting on the bus around 4pm as the traffic build up was ridiculous around that time. I wish it used to be as quiet as this picture back when I used to catch the bus ????

Been in the Crown pub a few times too, decent pub tbf. Great place to watch any kind of football on sky sports.
