Stanhope Avenue, NOTTINGHAM, NG5 1QX

The neo-classical frontage of the former Thomas Forman printing works (1926), now the Indian Community Centre Association - http://www.theicca.co.uk/default.htm - and also containing flats and a branch of Tesco Express. Thomas Forman (for whom my mother - and briefly my father - worked) specialised in the colour printing of such things as railway posters, calendars, labels and chequebooks. The factory closed in 1998 and much of the site behind this neo-classical frontage has been developed as housing in recent years - see Image
