Origins and early years

}}

Construction was commenced in the 1930s and by 1938 some of the roads had been established including Andover Road, Gainsford Crescent and Landcroft Crescent. Work was interrupted by World War II, after which the bulk of the housing stock was constructed. Most of the houses are constructed with similar layouts. They are generally semi-detached buildings or town houses. The first decades saw a generally working class population in residence.{{Citation needed|date=December 2017}}

1980s–1990s

{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2018|small=y}}

Under Margaret Thatcher's Right to Buy policy, a modest proportion of council tenants chose to purchase their rented property at hugely discounted prices. The majority of the housing stock remained in council ownership. The demographic of the inhabitants noticeably altered since the estate's early years. The estate increasingly housed young families with high levels of unemployment.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}}

Recent years

The decline of Bestwood Estate continued, with increasing crime levels. Policing the area became difficult as a small number of local families established a grip on it. Most prominent amongst these was the extended Gunn family. Supported by the proceeds of crime and drug-dealing, the Gunns gained notoriety for their ruthlessness. A number of highly publicised murders[2] eventually led to the arrest and imprisonment of some members of the family.[3] These people were described as the Bestwood Cartel and the Godfathers of Nottingham gang crime.[4]

Bestwood Estate earned an enduring and strongly negative reputation as a centre of crime, intimidation and anti-social behaviour. Violent crime and theft remain a problem.[5]
