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

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.

This is presumably the liturgical south side, with the chancel to the right supporting a "dome made of Snowcrete" (a form of cement render). This Roman Catholic church was built in 1920-23, architect John Sidney Brocklesby, and was listed grade II in 2012 as "an accomplished architectural design that combines modern and traditional materials and construction techniques to interpret traditional forms in a sophisticated and highly individual manner" (list entry 1406263).

Built in 1920-23 in a rather eclectic Romanesque style, Listed Grade II. The original designs show that the two towers either side of the main entrance were intended to be taller with a connecting arch. The flat light when this view was taken means that the white domes, visible in this view, https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4043385 are indistinguishable from the sky, contributing to the rather truncated appearance of the church.

Like a Romanesque fortress, with shallow Byzantine domes only just visible from this angle.

This is presumably the liturgical west end, with its central door. This Roman Catholic church was built in 1920-23, architect John Sidney Brocklesby, and was listed grade II in 2012 as "an accomplished architectural design that combines modern and traditional materials and construction techniques to interpret traditional forms in a sophisticated and highly individual manner" (list entry 1406263).

See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7351925 for location. The church was built 1920-23 in a Romanesque style and is Listed Grade II.

The remains of a lamp post (?) at the side of Woodborough Road near St Ann's Hill, on the descent towards Mapperley.

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.
