Royal Naval Association Club (formerly The Happy Return)
It is fairly rare to find a closed pub returned to something like its original use. This used to be an estate pub, The Happy Return, built as part of the Willoughby Street re-development of the mid-1960s (much of which has already disappeared). The other pub from that era, the 17th/21st Lancers is now a Tesco. The Happy Return closed in December 2009.

Lenton: Mettham Street
A street of typical Nottingham terraced houses, off Lenton Boulevard. The family of Albert Ball VC, the Great War air ace, lived briefly in Mettham Street before moving up in the world and settling in a grand house in The Park Estate (Image]). Albert Ball's statue is in the grounds of Nottingham Castle - see Image] and Image] - and The Albert Ball Memorial Homes nearby, on Church Street (Image] and Image]).

Leafy Lenton
A spring-morning view through a zoom lens up Lenton Boulevard, towards Derby Road. Castle Boulevard, Lenton Boulevard, Radford Boulevard and Gregory Boulevard, laid out in the 1880s, formed a big loop round the western side of the city, an early form of inner-ring road leading from the foot of Castle Rock to Mansfield Road.
According to his sister Lois, speaking in 1981, the Great War air ace Albert Ball VC (1896-1917) was born at No 32, in the distance on the right, but this is not confirmed by other sources - and there is no plaque. The Ball family later moved to a grand house in The Park Estate - see Image

A Nottingham terrace
This terrace on Lenton Boulevard is typical of Nottingham's inner suburbs. I guess these will currently be housing 5 or six students each house.

Flats upright and flat
Perhaps not quite flat, but not standing. The pile in the foreground is the ruins of Digby Court, one of the five towers of the Willoughby Street Estate. These are being demolished piecemeal, to be replaced by a mixture of houses and flats. Behind are Abbey Court and Newgate Court.
