The Firs
The Firs is now a care home for the elderly, but was previously a maternity hospital. The day the 1948 London Olympics opened was blazingly hot, something my mother never forgot as I was born somewhere in the building straight ahead on that day. The eaves of one of the more recently-built parts of The Firs take up the top right quarter of the picture, unfortunately, but also made it possible to take an east-pointing picture early on a bright May morning.

Nottingham, NG5 - Sherwood
With Mansfield Road (the A60) behind the photographer, this is a view along Elmswood Gardens in the direction of Applewood Grove and The Rise. Behind the high brick wall lies an Abbeyfield (Nottingham) Society complex known as "The Firs". This now offers independent living accommodation, warden supervised accommodation and a nursing home all on one site. A house was first built on this plot in 1895 by Mr Alfred Manchester, a Nottingham tea merchant, as his private residence although between 1925-82 it was firstly, a private maternity home and then a NHS maternity unit. One of the two tower blocks in Chestnut Walk is visible in the distance.

Nottingham, NG5 - Sherwood
In 1895 Alfred Manchester, a Nottingham tea merchant, built a private residence behind these now-defunct gates on Mansfield Road (a.k.a. the A60). Between 1926-86, "The Firs Maternity Home", and later on "The Firs NHS Maternity Unit", was developed on the site with an entrance in Elmswood Gardens - i.e. the road that the brown car is coming out of. Some of the newer houses in Hooley Street were actually built upon the tea merchant's kitchen garden around the corner, the land having been bought by developers during the 20th century. Thereafter, the street was renamed Elmswood Gardens. An Abbeyfield Society Retirement Complex is now situated behind these gates, albeit that its entrance is in this neighbouring street. Directly ahead is a section of Sherwood's main shopping promenade known locally as "Sherwood Shops", with Nottingham City Centre being 10 mins journey further on (by car).
