Part of a parade of shops, with residential accommodation above, forming "Coronation Buildings" on the main Nottingham-Mansfield road (the A60), opposite the well-known former Home Ales brewery building. Coronation Buildings were constructed to mark the accession to the throne of Edward VIII but in fact they ended marking the coronation of his brother "Bertie" as King George VI, following Prince Edward's abdication. The brown wooden shop door on the left is the entrance to "The Abdication", a micro-brewery and pub that opened to its first customers on 23nd August 2014.
