Paxton Gardens, St Ann's
The modern St Ann's, a large Nottingham inner city social housing area, is a good example of a Radburn estate - a design that was very fashionable from the 1960s to the 1980s. The idea was to ruthlessly separate cars and pedestrians so that all the houses face on to walkways and cars are kept on access roads behind walls at the rear. In this view rows of terraced houses look out on to a grassed patch with mature trees perhaps intended to emulate a village green. It does not look unpleasant on a sunny morning but experience with Radburn estates in general suggests that the confusing layout with myriad cut throughs and paths (and parking areas hidden from view) is unpopular and encourages crime. St Ann's was comprehensively redeveloped in the 1970s after the previous housing stock of poor quality 19th century terraced houses - specifically built for the working poor - was demolished.

Paxton Gardens leads off Stonebridge Road. This area was comprehensively redeveloped in the 1960s and '70s when vast numbers of 19th century houses, built for the working poor and widely condemned as slums, were demolished.

Stonebridge City Farm
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.

An elegant terrace connected to Robin Hood Terrace and backing on to Promenade. This is the east end of the north row. The end terrace was once a Shipstone's off-licence: its corner door and shop front have been replaced with new brickwork and appropriate twelve-light sash windows. The row is Grade II listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-454876-1-to-19-campbell-grove-#.VeDY3SiwHZY .
