Yes it is the River Lean. I remember in the late '50s coming home from school, Bulwell St. Mary's Juniors, coming over the bridge just before Bulwell Crossings and looking over the bridge wall and the river was often red, blue or green.

An old guy that lived near the Bridge, Jumbo Herod, since he had big tabs, use to have ducks on the river there and had beautiful apple trees in his backyard along the river bank. Further down the river some kid from school his house backed onto the river and in the summer
