Thackeray's Lane Recreation Ground on a frosty morning. Thackeray's Lane, i.e. the A6211, lies outside the park's boundary railings behind the photographer. It seems likely the Thackeray mentioned here was Mr John L. Thackeray, an Alderman who resided in, and later rebuilt, a house called Arno Vale House. He owned cotton mills in the suburb of Radford and was the Mayor of Nottingham in both 1854 and 1856. He died in September 1886, aged 74 years.
