The Westgate quarter of Southwell between Holy Trinity Church and Southwell Minster seen from a farm track that starts and/or terminates near Halloughton Road, Southwell. This arable land is part of the Brackenhurst Estate at the side of the A612 (the Southwell- Nottingham Road). The estate covers 200 hectares and comprises of Home Farm, an equestrian Centre, an animal care unit, a horticultural teaching and research centre and a veterinary nursing unit. It has been used and managed by Nottingham Trent University since 1999 and is now known as the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences. The land on the estate was bought by a Reverend Thomas Coats Cane in 1827 and he built Brackenhurst Hall within the estate in 1828. His successor was William Norton Hicking, a successful Nottingham lace industry businessman. Hicking became a County Councillor and was created a Baronet in 1918. He died in 1947 and the estate was sold to Nottinghamshire County Council who opened it as a Farm Institute in 1949.
