Mapperley: Horology Terrace - date stone and dish
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 15 Jun 2014
A terrace with an interesting name at the Woodborough Road end of Ransom Road. For the wider context, see Image Rob Noble has offered a possible explanation for the name: "The initials are suggestive of Francis Frederick Cope (1845-1901) of the Nottingham clockmaking firm G & F Cope. I'm not sure why this terrace is in Mapperley when the family was based in the Radford area, but I suppose as a successful businessman it is possible he would have invested his money in property across the city."
