Mill Crescent, NOTTINGHAM, NG5 7AW

With the Home Brewery tower in the distance.

This short snicket at the western-most end of Galway Road joins the main Mansfield-Nottingham road (i.e. the A60) opposite Arnold cemetery.

A short stretch of the A60, i.e. the main Nottingham to Mansfield Road. Just ahead the bus is passing Redhill Cemetery on its left. The columns at the entrance to this short cul-de-sac (now known as Birch Lea) serves 8-10 private houses. These columns seem suggestive of a former private estate and may well have been the entrance to the former "Red Hill Lodge", a large residential property set in 10 acres of grounds. A property bearing this name in this vicinity was once owned by Dr George Elder, a former surgeon who during his professional career held an appointment at The Samaritan Hospital for Women, Marylebone, London.

A parade of shops with residential accommodation on Stanhope Crescent which is off Cross Street, Arnold. Since early/mid 2023 these premises no longer host the free glossy "NG" magazine business and a white goods retail outlet and as of November 2023 they remain empty. Cross Street, a busy road linking Mansfield Road (the A60) and the centre of Arnold, lies a stone's throw away, behind the photographer.

A former Wesleyan Reform Church at the junction of Furlong Street and Burford Street. The latter, a cul-de-sac, lies on the other side of the church and leads - within minutes - to Arnold's High Street. This former church is identified on historical maps (c.1887) as a "Mission Room" or a 'Gospel Mission Room". It closed in 2016, affected by a dwindling congregation, and was sold at auction in 2017. Following its demolition the church is due to be replaced by a small number of terraced houses. On the left, signposted by a "School" road sign, is a Bestwood Avenue, a residential street that also hosts a secondary entrance into Arnold Mill Nursery and Primary School.

A former Wesleyan Reform Church at the junction of Furlong Street, on which several vans are parked, and Burford Street with a 'No Through Road' sign. This corner plot is identified on historical maps (c.1887) as boasting a "Mission Room" or a 'Gospel Mission Room". This latter day version of the church closed in 2016, affected by a dwindling congregation. It was sold at auction in 2017 and following its demolition the church is due to be replaced by a small number of terraced houses. High Street is a short walk away, at the eastern end of Burford Street, i.e. within 2-3 minutes.

The church closed in 2016, affected by a dwindling congregation and was sold at auction in 2017. Following its demolition the church is due to be replaced by a small number of terraced houses. Arnold's High Street is a 2-3 minute walk away behind the photographer, whereas in the distance, a secondary entrance into Arnold Mill Nursery and Primary School can be reached at the far end of Bestwood Avenue.
