A short section of Cranmer Street featuring a Nottingham Trent University Hall of Residence now known as Gordon House. The first "Gordon Memorial Home" in Nottingham was founded elsewhere in 1885. By 1898 it had moved to 28-30, Peel Street. Its purpose was to support and train 45 destitute boys for industrial and other work. The residents were between 10-16 years old and each wore a uniform. Apparently the home boasted a brass band that was available for hire. 70 boys and their supervisors moved to these larger premises in 1904.
