West Bridgford is a town in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, England, immediately south of the city of Nottingham, delimited by the River Trent. It forms a continuous urban area with Nottingham, effectively making it a suburb of the city; this helped lead to it being chosen as the location of the administrative centre for Nottinghamshire County Council. The population of the town at the 2011 census was 47,109.
As part of the Rushcliffe constituency its MP is The Rt Hon Kenneth Clarke, QC (Conservative Party). The headquarters of Nottinghamshire County Council moved to the town in 1959 from the traditional county town of Nottingham. The town is enclosed by the A52 and the River Trent.
Most of the main roads in central West Bridgford are named after wealthy families that dominated the town's early history. There are also, however, new developments that are, in effect, suburbs of the suburb named after different things. For example, the Gamston development has roads named after the Lake District, and Compton Acres has roads named after Dorset and the Purbeck Coast.
There are no 'Streets' in West Bridgford. When the town was being planned in the Victorian period, the roads were originally named as streets: for example, Musters Street and South Street. However, the planners eventually decided that the term 'Street' was too urban, so today the town has Musters Road and South Road.
West Bridgford is notably different from the other suburbs of Nottingham in a variety of ways. During the Victorian period, Nottingham was growing rapidly, but development in West Bridgford was restricted, as much of the land was owned by the Musters family.
Nottingham Express Transit, a light rail system opened in Nottingham in 2004, runs from Hucknall in the north to Nottingham railway station and onwards to Clifton in the south or Toton/Chilwell in the west. Plans were made to include West Bridgford in future phases of the project. Analysis by the joint City Council project has determined it unlikely that the centre of West Bridgford will be part of further evolution of the tram line: it now extends south of the Trent to Clifton along the route of the former Great Central Main Line, which forms part of the boundary of Nottingham and West Bridgford. As the city boundary runs to the immediate west of the line the three stations on this part of the route (Wilford Lane, Compton Acres, Ruddington Lane) are in West Bridgford, and serve western parts of West Bridgford, which opened in August 2015. Extensive bus services frequently serve most of the town.
Several bridges across the River Trent allow access to the city of Nottingham. The access to Nottingham has been an aspect of the popularity of West Bridgford as a suburb.
Trent bridge
A road bridge with three lanes in both directions. It is highly decorated on the sides with carvings that can be seen from the river.
Wilford Suspension Bridge
A bicycle and pedestrian bridge to the west of Trent Bridge, linking the town with The Meadows, Nottingham.
Wilford Toll Bridge
Since August 2015 this bridge carries part of the tram route (Nottingham Express Transit) connecting Clifton, Nottingham, Ruddington and Compton Acres suburb of West Bridgford to the centre of Nottingham and beyond. The small suburb of Silverdale is served by the adjacent ring road. The tram passes by the Becket school and travels through Compton Acres into Clifton.
Lady Bay Bridge
A two-lane road bridge, originally the rail crossing for the Midland Railway's alternative route from London to Nottingham via Melton Mowbray. Despite passing right through the middle of West Bridgford, mostly on a high embankment, there was never a West Bridgford station: the nearest station on this line was at Edwalton, and even that closed in July 1941, the line itself in May 1967.
The northern boundary of West Bridgford is the River Trent, spanned by two road bridges, Trent Bridge and Lady Bay Bridge, and two pedestrianised bridges consisting of a suspension bridge and a toll bridge near the Ferry Inn linking nearby Wilford village with the Meadows area of Nottingham city. The pedestrianised bridges link particularly well with cycling routes to Nottingham, the railway station and the university areas, making several rapid, safe, car-free routes available.

West Bridgford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Nottinghamshire, and around two miles south, and slightly east, of central Nottingham, is the town of West Bridgford.
The history of West Bridgford stretches all the way back to 924 AD when the first bridge was built over the River Trent at the current site. This was known as the Hethbeth Bridge and its construction was ordered by King Edward the Elder. The intention was allegedly to have a connected stronghold south of the river, linking up with the 'burh' (i.e. fortified settlement) of Nottingham (or 'Snotingeham' as it was then known).
Records hint that the original 10th century timber bridge stood until as late as 1683 when it was largely destroyed, having also been damaged during Civil War skirmishes decades earlier. Rebuilding works that year culminated in the construction of a 20-arch bridge made entirely of stone.
In 1797 the Grantham Canal opened. This linked the Lincolnshire town of Grantham at one end to West Bridgford at the other, where it joined the River Trent. Its primary purpose was the transportation of coal to Grantham. As with many canals, its profitability faltered with the arrival of the railways, although it remained open until 1936.
In 1838 Trent Bridge Cricket Ground opened in West Bridgford. It has been home to Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club ever since. It is also a popular venue for international cricket, having hosted Test matches since 1899. Notably, it is one of the grounds used during the Ashes test series between England and Australia.
In 1868 it was decided that a new bridge into Nottingham was needed, and thus the current Trent Bridge (i.e. the literal bridge, not the cricket ground) was completed in 1871. For a few months it stood adjacent to the old bridge, which was demolished later that year. The current bridge is made of iron and stone.
In 1865 Nottingham Forest Football Club was founded. Initially they played at the Forest Recreation Ground, from where the club gets its name. In 1898 they moved to the City Ground on the south bank of the River Trent in West Bridgford, where they have played their home games ever since. Nottingham Forest enjoyed their heyday under manager Brian Clough who served the club between 1975 and 1993. During this time they won the European Cup twice - in 1979 and 1980.
