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.

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.
