Wray Close, NOTTINGHAM, NG3 2FS

Stonebridge City Farm in the St Ann's area of Nottingham is located on a small site that was originally intended for a school. It opened in 1980 and now has a collection of farm animals including these sheep. It operates as a charity, staffed by volunteers, and gives an opportunity for inner city children to become familiar with animals that they might otherwise never encounter.

A view from the Jersey Gardens side of the former Lord Alcester pub towards the summit of St Mathias' Road with Woodhouse Street opposite. The pub was built in the 1950s but following its closure due to the economic collapse of its business it was converted into nine self-contained flats in 2012. The pub took its name from Admiral Frederick Beauchamp Paget Seymour, the 1st Lord Alcester (1821-95), the British naval Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet between 1874-77 and of the Mediterranean Fleet between 1880-83.
