This tiled pub is now surrounded by student accommodation blocks. The one seen here on the right is called Sillitoe Court. At the time that Alan Sillitoe wrote Saturday Night Sunday Morning it would have been surrounded by the Raleigh factory.

Traditional pub on the corner of Ilkeston Road and Faraday Road. The pub was used in the filming of Alan Sillitoe's 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' - the story of a disaffected Nottingham factory worker.

Faraday Road was once the home of the huge Raleigh Cycles factory, but is now lined with student flats (Nottingham University's Jubilee Campus is nearby). The Manor Villages blocks are on the left.

This fine example of a small brewhouse where a pub would brew its own beer can be found on Faraday Road at the back of the White Horse pub. It is now occupied by a boxing club, but the exterior is hardly altered.

The White Horse pub, referred to in the Alan Sillitoe book & film "Saturday Night & Sunday Morning" is now a cafe, albeit that the exterior has been preserved (protected even ?). This is the view across the Ilkeston Road (A609) with the "Opal 1" "premium grade" student accommodation block opposite, on St Peter's Street.

The former "White Horse" pub (of "Saturday Night & Sunday Morning" fame) - currently a cafe - appears to be drowning in a sea of modern architecture on this corner formed by Ilkeston Road and Faraday Road. Six years after Frank Bowden started manufacturing bicycles in a small workshop in Raleigh Street Radford he owned a seven and a half acre cycle factory in Faraday Road, the one with cars disappearing into the distance.

These student flats are named after Radford's most famous son, the novelist Alan Sillitoe. Scenes of the film of "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning", starring Albert Finney as Sillitoe's anti-hero Arthur Seaton, were filmed in the area, including a sequence at the White Horse, at the corner of Faraday Road, which is shown in other photos nearby. Part of the Raleigh Cycle Factory was on Faraday Road. The photograph is taken from the end of St Peter's Street, at the crossroads where Ilkeston Road becomes Wollaton Road.

The White Horse pub referred to in the Alan Sillitoe book & film "Saturday Night & Sunday Morning" is now a cafe, albeit that the exterior has been preserved (or protected?). This is the view from opposite it looking up Ilkeston Road (A609) towards the city centre.
