North Sherwood Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 4EQ

View of the closed end of the Alpha Terrace cul de sac, showing an apartment block that appears to have been converted from a former factory.

This record shop has since closed.

In use from 1823 until 1869, the cemetery is situated in a courtyard hidden behind a stone wall, on the East side of North Sherwood Street, about 30 yards from the junction with Forest Road East.. The burial records are lost and only about 15 stones are extant. The cemetery belonged to the Nottingham Municipality but was purchased outright by the Community in 1946. The Cemetery is locked and the keys are held by the Nottingham Hebrew Congregation. Source; David Shulman, Webmaster JCR-UK [September 2016].

Looking south from Forest Road bus stop towards the city centre on a bright spring morning.

A view from North Sherwood Street, taken on a May morning. The long rows of windows below the eaves show that these houses on Mansfield Road once housed framework knitters, whose workshops needed good lighting.

A view of North Sherwood St looking in the direction of the city centre. The front elevation of The Charles Napier pub can be seen on the right although it closed in 2011. Sir Charles James Napier (1782-1853) was the British Army's Commander-in-Chief in India, noted for conquering the Sindh Province in what is now Pakistan. Just beyond the pub, although not visible, is one of the entrances to the Arboretum.This street runs parallel with Mansfield Rd (A611).

Now in residential use, this was until 2011 the Sir Charles Napier. Image] shows the pub from further up the hill in 2010.

Many of the buildings on Mnasfield Road have lost their traditional chimney stacks and pots on modernisation, but this group retains a fine display. One of a series showing different building styles on Mansfield Road. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=5550541

The red-brick building above the parked car was until recent years a public house, The Sir Charles Napier - see Image] (April 2010).

Huntingdon Street traffic waiting to join Mansfield Road (A60). Almost visible too, near to where the pedestrian is standing, is a left-hand turning into Alfred Street North. The entrance to Elm Avenue (a footpath) can also be seen in between the two gate posts. This leads to the Bellevue covered reservoir. The owner of the "Ex-Catalogue Furniture" retail outlet in the picture appears to have strong views about not opting for a Mayor in the city-wide May 2012 referendum.
