Old Church Street, New Lenton, Nottingham
Although difficult to see clearly, immediately to the right of the metal bollard, and behind the waist-high fence on the right, is the base of a stone pillar base occupying its original position in a grassed area. This is the only surviving a remnant of the ancient C12th Lenton Priory. The pillar is thought to have formed part of a heated common room used by the monks. Ahead, at the end of this very short path, is the corner of Priory Street and Old Church Street. The castellated house in the distance is the side of an early C19th property known now as Nazareth House. It has been known in the past as “The Priory” and “Priory House”. A certain William Stretton built this house in 1802. After his death, his son Severus Stretton, sold the property to the Congregation of the Poor Sisters of Nazareth who ministered to children (in a children’s home) and to the elderly in a combined religious and care ‘complex’ between 1880-2002. The Priory Church of St Anthony in Old Church Street is a minute's walk away behind the photographer.

Friar Street, Lenton, Nottingham
This pillar base - a remnant of the ancient C12th Lenton Priory - still occupies its original position and sits, protected, in a secured grassed area at the corner of Priory Street and Old Church Street. The pillar is thought to have formed part of the great calcefactorium, i.e. a heated common room for use by the monks. The Priory Church of St Anthony in Old Church Street is a minute's walk away, to the right.

Trevethick's Boatyard
This is the dry dock, which is capable of dealing with two narrow or one wide-beam craft. The yard dates from the end of the 18th century when the canal was built, although the current firm did not take over until the early 20th century.
