Nottingham, NG1 - Odeon cinema

Beyond the kerb of Maid Marion Way (A6008) the demolition of the former Odeon cinema site is almost complete. Beyond the security fencing to the right hand side of the site is a path leading away from the rear of some of the shops on Angel Row that is being maintained for emergency evacuation purposes but that is otherwise closed to the public. Behind the ivy-clad boundary brick wall is the garden of the still very active Bromley House subscription library, a plot (with the house included) that was purchased in 1820. During 2012 the library management committee mounted some resistance to planning proposals to allow a block of privately operated student apartments to be built on this site, in view of the fact that their peaceful garden was likely to be overlooked by such accommodation. It seems however, that their protests against this project have not succeeded. The "road" is Bromley Place, although it soon peters out to become a footpath-only leading to Angel Row.
