Nottingham - NG7 (Radford)
Alvey Terrace is the name given to this row of bungalows hugging this private footpath and connecting two sections of Forster Street. The bungalows, the path and the maisonettes opposite them are owned by the Wm. Sutton Housing Trust. William Sutton (1833-1900) was a Londoner who made his fortune through door-to-door parcel deliveries (something the Royal Mail was not doing at the time) through his company, Sutton Carriers. After his death most of his wealth went into housing trusts named after him that still provide affordable housing for impoverished people. The former Radford Methodist church, now being used by another Christian church, can be seen in the distance.

Radford Methodist Church
The white panels are inscribed Methodist Sunday Schools 1890, so it is clear that the church has moved in at a later stage. It is now shared with commercial occupants.

Forster Street: Radford Methodist Church
The church was designed by the Nottingham architect R C Sutton. A foundation stone beneath the blue notice board was "Laid on behalf of the sewing class by Mrs Smith". Another records the names of the Superintendent, Rev T Granger, the architect and the contractor, Mr W Savage. There has been only one slight external change since Alan Murray-Rust recorded the building on a brighter day in 2008: Image

Along Radford Boulevard
A view from the junction with Ilkeston Road. Nottingham's boulevards were an enlightened piece of Victorian planning, creating a ring road from Carrington Street near the Midland Station to Mansfield Road at Carrington. (Be sure not to pronounce it boulvarr, in the French way - to true Nottinghamians it's a bulleevard.)

Block of shops
On the corner of Ilkeston Road (to the left) and Radford Boulevard (to the right). A very unremarkable (and now very dilapidated) example of the work of Watson Fothergil.

The Gregory, a pub converted to student flats
The Gregory was one of the core components of this junction: known as "'ation Corner" after the four buildings surrounding the junction: a church (SalvATION), a school (EducATION), a pub (DamNATION), and a pawnshop (RuinATION).
