IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Maidens Dale, NOTTINGHAM, NG5 8LQ

A view of construction work on the site of the former White Hart pub. This new building will be a new 'economy supermarket'. This picture was taken from a path between Maiden's Dale and Home Close. The A60 (the Nottingham-Mansfield road) lies beyond the distant blue security fencing.

A view across the site previously occupied by The White Hart public house towards the main Nottingham-Mansfield road (the A60). Following the pub's closure in 2009 the building was demolished and the site has remained unused. The LIDL supermarket chain however, has been granted permission to open a new store on the site and recent early construction-related activity would seem to suggest that the project is being moved forward. Once completed this new store would have to compete for customers with a nearby Sainsbury's supermarket and with a new ALDI supermarket 400 metres away on Mansfield Road in the direction of Sherwood. The new ALDI store is halfway through being built on the former Daybrook Laundry site.

Construction work on a new 'economy supermarket' site on the former White Hart pub is seen here from Home Close. Home Close is a cul-de-sac and beyond the parked car terminates at the main entrance to Arnbrook Primary School. Ahead, the path empties out onto Oxclose Lane.

A view from the main Nottingham-Mansfield road (i.e. the A60) showing houses on Home Close forming a backdrop to this former White Hart pub site. Following the pub's closure in 2009 the building was demolished and the site has remained undeveloped until now. The LIDL supermarket chain however, has been given planning permission to open a new store on the site and recent activity on the site suggests that the project is being moved forward. Once completed this new store would have to compete for customers with a nearby Sainsbury's supermarket and with a new ALDI supermarket 400 metres away on Mansfield Road in the direction of Sherwood. The new ALDI store is halfway through being built on the former Daybrook Laundry site.

Home Close lies behind the photographer. This footpath at the side of a supermarket construction site - on land previously occupied by the former White Hart pub - empties out onto Oxclose Lane. The ground floor of the building ahead on Mansfield Road (the A60) was occupied by a Job Centre until mid-2014.

The entrance to the site previously occupied by The White Hart public house off the main Nottingham-Mansfield road (the A60). Following the pub's closure in 2009 the building was demolished and the site has remained unused. More recently however, the LIDL supermarket chain has been granted permission to open a new store on the site and early construction-related activity suggests that the project is being moved forward. Once completed, this new store would have to compete for customers with a nearby Sainsbury's supermarket and also with a new ALDI supermarket that is halfway towards being completed 400 metres away on Mansfield Road in the Sherwood direction. The new ALDI store is being built on the former Daybrook Laundry site.

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.

The west elevation of the mortuary chapels building with its twin chapels. The main entrance/exit to/from the A60, i.e. the main Nottingham-Mansfield being a two minute walk through the archway. Arnold Cemetery was set aside for this purpose in 1877 and originally covered a four acre site. The first burial here seems to have been conducted here in July 1879. It is still in regular use although various extension plots have been added to the photographer's left.
