Nottingham - City Hospital
Previously one of the City Hospital's principal nurses' homes, this building now houses the Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) Trust headquarters. Was this "The Nurses Memorial Home" (a monument to the First World War dead of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire), that was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1923?

The City Hospital is located on a massive site which has been continuously redeveloped over the years. The main entrance, shown here, has a pleasntly Edwardian look to it; compare its style and scale with the new building immediately opposite [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1042633].

Arnold Road
Clearly conceived as a major orbital road, with dedicated service roads, cycleways and footways on both sides of the carriageway. It is still essentially an outer ring road for Nottingham.

The 89 bus on Edwards Lane
The bus into town may be of interest to bus enthusiasts, but I had come to see the red-brick wall on the right, once the parapet of the bridge over the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby, known as The Back Line as it looped round the east and north of the city instead of taking the direct route to the west chosen forty years earlier by the Midland Railway. This section of The Back Line closed in 1960.
