Perry Road connects Sherwood and Basford. This is a view towards the junction with Victoria Road (next right hand turning). The boundary wall of H.M.P. Nottingham is seen on the left, with a former Factory and Warehouse site on the left. The prison was closed in 1930 and reopened as a borstal in 1932. In 1950 it reverted to being a maximum security prison. New houses are currently being constructed on the left on a site identified on a 1912 map as the "Sherwood (Bleaching, Dyeing and Dressing) Works. Although the premises later became a factory and warehouse the site was cleared in 2009-10 and the plot left unused until now. Behind the photographer are some other older buildings identified on this same 1912 map as "Peace Mills", a title that has been selected as the name of this new housing development.
