A zoom view towards Cranmer Street and Mansfield Road, with Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station on the hazy skyline, eight miles or so away. "The wise policy of the Corporation in providing these stately avenues of elms and oaks in the midst of the crowded city is self-evident; the only regret is that things are not more so, as we see meadows and gardens rapidly despoiled by the builder in utter neglect of the things which go to make life—especially child-life—healthy and bright" (Illustrated Handbook to Nottingham, 1906).
