Park Lane
For a close-up of the old Home Brewery sign on the off licence on the corner of Cheltenham Street, see Image Straight ahead Park Lane once crossed the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby Friargate. The bridge is still there, but there is little other evidence there was ever a railway here as the railway land has been redeveloped for housing and commercial purposes. See Image], Image] and Image

Basford: Arnold Road off-licence
To Nottinghamians an off-licence is a beer-off. On this one the Home Brewery style of the 1960s, with Robin Hood silhouette on a barrel-shaped background, rather remarkably survives intact. The earlier style, on pubs and off-licences http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1513926 , simply featured the words Home Ales, in green or black on a cream background. Sometimes the brewery's Apollo mineral waters ("pop") were also advertised - see the off-licence on Park Lane nearby: Image

The painted panels are a relic of the days of the Home Brewery, closed in 1999. The shop was formerly an off-licence. (There is a second sign on the Wilton Street side, behind the new panel).

Apollo Table Waters and Home Ales
Old Basford is a good place for old painted signs on former Home Brewery Company off licences. This example, on the corner of Park Lane and Cheltenham Street, is the traditional version, advertising Apollo fizzy drinks and the Daybrook brew; on nearby Arnold Road the beer-off sports the 1960s version - see Image

Royal Express convenience store
On the corner of Arnold Road and Wallace Street, Basford. The Home Ales sign is a bit more worse-for-wear than when John Sutton was here 3 and a half years ago http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037260 . And is now further obscured by the MoneyGram signs.
