The entrance to the Meridian Court Hall-of-Residence on Quorn Road, opposite Minstrel Avenue. Although described as being a part of the City Campus of Nottingham Trent University it is a 10-15 minute bus ride away from the city centre plus a 5 minute walk from the most convenient stop for the most best collection of services in & out of the city. It is situated on part of the former Meridian/Bairnswear textile factory site that had entrances on nearby Haydn Road. In 1963 the Courtaulds/Sara Lee Ltd conglomerate began to gradually take over the Meridian sites in the U.K. and to rationalise some of their manufacturing sites. Presumably this is why Nottingham Trent University were able to buy part of the site?
