Former mission hall
I can't find out anything about this building, but as the side road is called Mission Street, and the style of building is appropriate, I'm reasonably certain that it was formerly a mission hall.

Woodborough Road, Mapperley
Typical Nottingham suburban main road with development from around 1900, sustained by the fact that this was an early electric tram route.

Old off-licence
The reason for taking this is the continued presence of the Whitbread name on the building. The name disappeared many years ago.

James Tailors
The right hand shop still houses a small bespoke tailoring business - a rare sight these days.
The building is dated 1903.

Nottingham NG5 - Mapperley
This combined mission church and school was built c.1863-65 and was originally called St Ann's C. of E. School. Following the construction of the nearby St Jude's Anglican Curch, Mapperley it was renamed St Judes's C. of E. School. Attendances rose and money was found to extend the buildings in 1881 and again in 1892 when the numbers on the register reached 250. By 1901 however, the ever increasing pressure on the facilities forced the local education authority to press the school management to improve the facilities still further and to include an infants' section. The church however, was unable to fund any further developments and children from the nearby new Porchester housing estate could not be admitted. The school became an infants and junior school in 1928 but it eventually closed in 1935 with only 170 children registered. Because of these low numbers it was decided to close these premises and for children to begin, instead, to enrol at new nearby Walter Halls School. The (unused) main entrance is on Woodborough Road. These premises are currently occupied by a painting and decorating supplies business.
