This new building has gone up on derelict land next to the Nottingham Canal. It will house two restaurants, one of which will be Cleaver & Wake (see https://www.cleaverandwake.com ). The steps to and from the towpath are being restored and a blue-brick retaining wall built by the Great Northern Railway has been reworked in Derbyshire stone, to match the canal bridge from which this picture was taken.
