A view of the junction of Belvoir Street with Woodborough Road, looking towards Mapperley. Whilst at a first glance this stretch of properties looks like a row of terraced houses, the builder working on the property with the "For Sale" sign attached to it had just uncovered a long rectangular shop sign under some rendering he had removed. An elderly man walking past it confirmed that it had been a "beer off" (an off-licence) when he had been a lad and that he had gone into it occasionally and bought sweets there too. In our conversation it transpired that at one time this had in fact been a parade of shops.
