About to be demolished it would appear to make way for "Funky new living space" according to the poster. There's another one on the side face of the building http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1733068 .

It appears that this 1960s apartment block is being demolished. The poster promotes new properties that are to built in its place.

Goldswong Terrace - Wong being an old Saxon word for a field. Ernest Weekley, a professor of modern languages and his wife lived at No.9. Soon after D.H.Lawrence and Frieda Weekley became lovers, the couple left for Italy. They soon returned to Nottingham however, in order to try to re-establish contact with Frieda's children. Sadly the children’s father denied them access and as a result they returned to Europe. Frieda divorced Ernest Weekley in 1914 and she and D.H. were married in London in the same year. They had hoped to return to Italy but were unable to do so due to the outbreak of World War I. Instead they moved to Cornwall in 1915. As the war intensified, hatred towards Germans grew and as a result of this, and because Frieda was German, people began to despise them. They were ordered to leave the UK in October 1917. It seems that they visited Australia for a few weeks before sailing to Taos, New Mexico via New Zealand, Tahiti and San Francisco. They finally left North America in September 1925, 6 mths after David was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Apparently they lived in Italy between 1925-28 before moving to Vence in the south of France where David died on 2nd March 1930.

Though they would have won a speedboat not a small yacht. For the reference see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullseye_(UK_game_show)

This split-level building (right) dating from 1977 is a purpose-built hostel for homeless families, consisting of 29 self-contained apartments.

The church is now an Islamic Centre. Built in bright Nottingham Patent Brick in a characteristically idiosyncratic Romanesque style, it is Grade II listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-459123-woodborough-road-islamic-social-centre-#.VZUQViiwHZY For more about Fothergill, and photographs of his buildings, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/The-Buildings-of-Watson-Fothergill .

The lower end (i.e the city centre end) of Woodborough Road (B684). This new medium-sized housing estate, completed at the end of 2011, lies immediately beyond the ex-Woodborough Road Baptist Church on the left of this picture. The ex-church now houses a Pakistani cultural centre. No.237 Woodborough Road, a house that used to exist on this stretch of road, was one of Arthur Mee's many homes. Mee (1875-1943), the second of ten children, moved here in 1889 when he was 14 yrs old. He matured into a prolific writer and is perhaps most famous for writing and editing the serialised publications "The Children's Encyclopaedia" and "The Children's Newspaper", although he was also highly regarded as journalist and editor within the London-based newspaper industry. He died in Eynsford, Kent in 1943.

A short section of Cranmer Street featuring a Nottingham Trent University Hall of Residence now known as Gordon House. The first "Gordon Memorial Home" in Nottingham was founded elsewhere in 1885. By 1898 it had moved to 28-30, Peel Street. Its purpose was to support and train 45 destitute boys for industrial and other work. The residents were between 10-16 years old and each wore a uniform. Apparently the home boasted a brass band that was available for hire. 70 boys and their supervisors moved to these larger premises in 1904.

General Gordon is most famous for the Siege of Khartoum, but in 1885 he founded a "home for destitute boys of working age" in Nottingham (see http://mapperleyandsherwoodhistorygroup.co.uk/the-gordon-boys-home for a full history). It occupied this building from 1904 to 1958. After that it as variously used as a Civil Defence Centre, teacher training college, student accommodation and is now private rented accommodation.
