Nottingham - NG3 (Alexandra Park)
A stretch of the winding road known as "The Crescent" off Woodborough Road, at the side of the Alexandra Court block of flats. In August 1853 John Hine, the brother of T.C. Hine the well-known Nottingham architect, bought Thomas' part of the 27 acres known as "Mapperley Hills Common" with the intention of developing an exclusive residential estate on it. However, it seems that cash flow problems arose and so, apart from a small number of properties, "Alexandra Park" was never developed as extensively as had been planned. The road is unadopted and currently in a poor state of repair giving a run down feel to the whole site. Planning permission exists however, for several modern properties to be built within the grounds of the large house on this road nearest to Alexandra Court block of flats.

Nottingham - NG3 (Alexandra Park)
A view of a much more modern house on The Crescent, an unadopted road off Woodborough Road at the side of the Alexandra Court block of flats. In August 1853 John Hine, brother of T.C. Hine, the well-known Nottingham architect, bought Thomas' part of the 27 acres known as "Mapperley Hills Common" with the intention of developing an exclusive residential estate on it. However, it seems that cash flow problems arose and apart from a small number of properties on The Crescent, "Alexandra Park" was never developed as extensively as had been planned. This property appears unfinished and the road is currently in a poor state of repair giving a run down feel to the site. Planning permission exists however, for several modern properties to be built within the grounds of the large house nearest to the Alexandra Court block of flats.
