The house is being used as a site office by Willmott Dixon, the contractors building riverside houses at Trent Basin. Green's Windmill is on the skyline on the right, above the silver car.

New homes are being built on the site of long-derelict riverside warehouses - "Connecting city life and waterside living", according to the publicity.

The culvert is a major construction built in the 1880s to cope with surface water from the rapid urbanisation of the east side of Nottingham. It originates with the 'Beck' which flowed from St Ann's Well roughly on the line of St Ann's Well Road, Huntingdon Street and Lower Parliament Street to join the original River Leen a short distance east of the present London Road. To cope with the estimated maximum flow, based even then on a maximum recorded 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) in a 30 minute period, the culvert is 6 ft (1.8 m) diameter in its upper reaches, increasing to an oval cross section of 13ft 6 in x 9 ft 8 in (4.1 x 2.95 m). Note the commemorative foundation stone facing out into the river, where it would be virtually unread. In practice this is double sided, with the same inscription on the inland face, seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7041196

Looking from the Bridgford side of the River Trent at Trent Field to the Yacht Club Riverside flats on the Sneinton side, which look externally complete. Image] shows building work in September 2021.

The Trent Lady was built by Arcrite of Corby Northamptonshire in 1984. The boat was registered in London and serviced the Thames. In 1992 the boat was purchased by Trent Cruising Ltd who had her hauled out of the water at Penton Marine Chertsey in Surrey, and transported by road to Newark Marina where it underwent a complete re-fit before entering into service on the Trent. In 2001 the boat was sold to the present operators, Trent River Cruises. The Trent lady is 68ft in length and weighs just over 33 tonnes. See http://www.trentcruising.com/

This development on the left bank of the Trent looks nearer completion than when I came this way in April 2022: see Image], which links to earlier views of the project.

Pleasure boats are moored upstream of the River Crescent flats on the Sneinton side of the river.
