Chesterfield Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG4 1EF

The larger one is Main Street Methodist Church. The church takes its name from the earlier name of the road; it became Carlton Hill during the early years of the 20th Century. The building to the left of it was originally the church hall, but is now the Orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration.

During the COVID-19 lockdown Nottingham City Transport is running a very reduced service on a small selection of routes, essentially those included in the 'goto' branding. The selection does however include the rural route out to Southwell, seen here on Carlton Hill, and Loughborough. The revised timetable introduced on 5 April 2020 requires 42 buses, less than 20% of the normal weekday output.

A suburban pub which seems to have survived all the repositioning of styles of the last 2 decades. The illuminated speed sign just beyond the pub had only been operational for a couple of days when this view was taken.

The larger one is Main Street Methodist Church. Although the road is now called Carlton Hill this part of it was formerly known as Main Street, and the church has retained the original name. The building to this side of it was originally the church hall, but is now the Orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration.

On the gateway to the house on the left of this view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/793883 . A nice piece of Victorian cast iron.

Located on Foxhill Road East a little way to the west of Carlton town centre.

A narrow residential street just west of Carlton town centre. The cemetery on Cavendish Road can just be made out at the far end of the street.

No services are taking place during the COVID-19 lockdown.

A feature of flowers of the compositae (Daisies, Dandelions etc) is the way that flowers structure themselves to fit Fibonacci numbers. (The Fibonacci series is 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 etc., where each succeeding number is the sum of the previous pair.) In this instance the anticlockwise and clockwise spirals in the yellow centre always add up to an adjacent pair from the series, in this case 13 and 21. (Not all individual flowers show quite as regular a pattern as this one.) Compare with http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6478556. There are also 21 of the white ray florets. One of a series of pictures depicting wild flowers in Carlton Cemetery. The management of the as yet undeveloped section of the cemetery allows a number of traditional meadow flowers to flourish. A slideshow of these flowers can be seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=114777222 The beetle is a false blister beetle, family: Oedemeridae. Probably Oedemera lurida. My thanks to fellow Geograph member Richard Sutcliffe for identifying the species for me.
