IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Hanley Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 5BL

The picture, taken from Wollaton Street, is dominated by the grand tower of the former Lambert's Factory of 1864 on Talbot Street, now offices. When I was a boy, Hanley Street was the terminus for Nottingham Corporation bus services to Aspley, Broxtowe and Strelley, the ones I caught into town. They came in to town up Alfreton Road, then down Talbot Street, returning up Wollaton Street to Canning Circus. The stops were against the wall on the right, which belonged to the electricity works, long replaced by a multi-storey car park.

Multi-storey with a sculptural quality to it, at a stretch perhaps.

The tower and part of the facade collapsed during rebuilding work in the 1990s, but the local Planning Authority rejected an application for demolition and insisted on reconstruction. Listed Grade II. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6226546 for location.

The view is dominated by Lambert's Factory, a hosiery works dating from 1864, now offices. The single-decker bus from Wollaton is making its way into town.

Former Lambert lace factory of 1863, Listed Grade II, converted to offices in the late 20th century. Unoccupied at the time this view was taken, with planning consent for conversion to student accommodation. The section on the corner is a late 20th century addition and is not part of the Listing.
