Burnham Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG5 2FH

The path running in front of the main entrances into these six two-bedroom almshouses runs parallel with Haydn Road. The Pennhome homes were built in 1878 at the expense of Maria Christian Cartwright, wife of S. Cartwright, Esq., a J.P., of Leasowes, Staffordshire, to shelter poor widows or spinsters whose fathers had been merchants, tradesmen or professional men, or for ladies in reduced circumstances. Mrs Cartwright was a native of Nottingham. The Nottingham Community Housing Association became the trustees of this small complex in 1995.

These are the original Victorian school buildings on Haydn Road. The main school buildings of Haydn Road Junior and Infants School are now on the right-hand side of the road behind the railings, although these older buildings are still in use as an annexe. Mansfield Road (the A60) lies 200 metres behind the photographer and Hucknall Road is situated in the distance, approximately 5 minutes walk away.

Once the main school but now just an annexe. I seem to remember breaking my collar bone on those steps.

Haydn Road separates the previous (Victorian) school, seen at the forefront of this picture, from its replacement i.e. Haydn Road Junior and Infants School. These older premises are nonetheless still used as a teaching annexe.

Looking along the main road that passes through Sherwood (i.e. Mansfield Road, the A60) from junction with Burnham Street and towards the main shopping centre. The Sherwood Club, on the corner of Burnham Street, closed during the latter part of 2012. The Welbeck Medical Practice occupies the single storey brick building on the left, beyond the Sherwood Club. Opposite this GP surgery and behind the bus shelter is the new Police Office (sub-station) which, although now ready, remains to be put into use.

From the Burnham Street side of the road and looking along Mansfield Road (the A60) towards Sherwood's shopping centre, is an undertaker's establishment (with a pedestrian ramp and pitched porch) and beyond it is a rectangular 1950s/60s building that houses new Police Office or sub-station (as yet unopened) and the local library on the first floor.

On the right-hand side of Mansfield Road (the A60) the new - but as yet unopened -Police Office (or sub-station) is visible, together with the local library above it. Spondon Street branches off the A60, to the right, behind the tree.

This delightful terrace of houses were built and endowed by John Robinson, Sheriff of Nottingham in 1889.
