Maid Marian Way, Nottingham
The scheme to cut a new road through the centre of Nottingham from Chapel Bar to Canal Street was first mooted by the city council in 1945, but it was a controversial plan from the start. Many felt that addressing the serious post-war housing shortage should have had a higher priority and there was also alarm at the number of historic properties that would be demolished. In the end the road was built in the 1960s and was christened Maid Marian Way. It did allow some busy city centre shopping streets to be pedestrianised but the road itself was characterised by a seemingly miscellaneous collection of modern and old buildings with little attempt at architectural harmony; it was famously described as 'the ugliest street in Europe' - a remark possibly attributable to Professor Arthur Ling of Nottingham University's Department of Architecture and Civic Planning.
In this view from 1965 construction work is taking place at the junction with Friar Lane. A roundabout was built here with a series of pedestrian underpasses, although in recent years that has been removed. Note the vintage taxi passing through the roadworks.

The Ned Ludd
Named after the legendary founder of The Luddites. This relatively new pub - this corner was previously occupied by various restaurants - Is beginning to show an obsession with the Luddites by the owners of the Nottingham Brewery. They recently renamed The Bricklayers Arms in Ruddington to The Frame Breakers http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4717466 .

A number of local landmarks are visible in this shot that leads the eye down Maid Marian Way (A6008) that is heading towards the Broadmarsh (previously Broad Marsh) section of the city, i.e. the area where upon the original Anglo-Saxon part of Snotengaham was established. (Snotengaham, i.e. HAM meaning 'home of' and SNOT referring to the leader of that early community).
