Dorothy Boot Homes, Wilford
The Dorothy Boot Homes in Wilford were built in the early 20th century for army veterans. The attractive semi-circle of houses fronts a private green. The houses are now derelict and abandoned, but there are plans to refurbish them (although I suspect modern-day veterans won't be able to afford them).

Nottingham - NG11 (Wilford Village)
The Dorothy Boot Homes are situated at the junction of Main Road and Grange Close. The site is crescent shaped and consists of eleven homes. The complex was funded by Sir Jesse Boot in 1908 for veterans of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny, and their wives and it was named after his daughter. The properties, built by Clavert and Gleave, were rent free and heated by an early central heating system. In addition, each house had a bath and a garden and the inmates were provided with free medical attention. A large clubroom was also provided for the benefit of any veterans living in Nottingham, as was a library. As-and-when the veterans passed away, the arrangement was that houses would be used by other aged and deserving persons. The properties are currently occupied and appear to be in private ownership these days.

Main Road, Wilford
Although it is a part of the City of Nottingham, Wilford retains something of a village atmosphere centred on this small green close to the church.
