Looking towards the gentle slope towards Hockley, past the Bunkers Hill public house. This area of Nottingham was named after The Battle of Bunker's Hill (17th June 1775) near Boston, USA, in which the British armed forces sustained the greater losses than the Americans. "The Old Leather Bottle Inn" once stood on this site, c.1670. Barclays Bank Ltd built a bank on the land at some point in time, the premises of which are now home to the Bunker's Hill pub.
