This is Sneinton Hermitage (a cave site) on a road that is also called Sneinton Hermitage, as seen from Marham Close. Nottingham city centre is visible in the distance. The caves were inhabited until 1867 but in 1897 large parts of their outwardly visible facade were all-but destroyed when the London North Western Railway Company were permitted to develop a goods station on this site so that the rock face and some of the caves had to be cut away.
