IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Ashley Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG3 1JG

Over the former White Lion pub. Somewhere local must have had a light shower, but no sign of it anywhere on my walk in and out of the City Centre.

In the last few months or so before it was rerouted and renumbered, service 21 was diverted via Alfred Street South in Sneinton as the left turn from Robin Hood Street onto Bath Street had become impossible for buses. This picture was taken on the 21's last day of operation.

A view of Dakeyne Street (cul-de-sac) on the other side of the B686, taken from the corner of Handel Street. The street-name sign of the latter is affixed to the corner of The Duke of Devonshire pub whose entrance is on Carlton Road. This pub is still known to some as “The Madhouse” because of the fact that selected patients from The County Lunatic Asylum in Dakeyne Street were allowed to use the pub as a meeting place until the hospital closed in 1902. A plaque near to the pub entrance refers to this.

This pub closed about three years previously and is in the process of conversion to, I think, student accommodation. The conversion involves the addition of an extra storey, but the Art Deco feel of the building has been well maintained, including window frames which are much more in keeping than those when it was latterly still a pub http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/779999.

Typical inter-war period pub. It closed sometime in 2014.

On the corner of Albert Street, this pub is a fine example of restrained Art Deco. The period is however defined by the sculpted panels over the door to the Games Room and windows of the main façade. The panel on the front corner confirms that this pub has not undergone the 'traditional' renaming process! Update: Since this photo was taken, the pub has been converted into student residences, with some interesting changes that have if anything enhanced the Art Deco feel of the building. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4230251

Corner pub on Liverpool and Handel Streets.

Probably the only day of the year when you will see it as empty as this in the middle of the day – just one solitary car in sight.

"The Vine" - on the corner of Liverpool Street and Handel Street - is one of the last remaining pubs in Nottingham with a curved corner-entrance door opening directly onto the street. The Home Brewery Company of Arnold purchased it in 1896 when it also boasted stables and a smithy. Although the facilities and internal decor remains very basic, the pub is still functioning at a time when many other pubs in Sneinton have closed.
