With Mansfield Road (the A60) to the left of the photographer, this is a view through the former maternity hospital's entrance into the grounds of what is now an Abbeyfield (Nottingham) Society retirement complex known as "The Firs". This offers independent living accommodation, warden supervised accommodation and a nursing home all on one site. A house was first built on this plot in 1895 by Mr Alfred Manchester, a Nottingham tea merchant, as his private residence although between 1925-82 it was firstly, a private maternity home and latterly a NHS maternity unit.
