IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Gadd Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG7 4BJ

A view from the corner of Southey Street, taken on the sunny morning of midsummer day.

Looking towards Alfreton Road on a cloudy August afternoon. Though Victorian three-storey terraces are common, the wooden first-floor oriel windows are unusual for Nottingham.

Midsummer morning at the corner of Gadd Street.

Looking north towards Bentinck Road and Hyson Green.

Looking from Bentinck Road towards the backs of Victorian and twentieth-century houses on Peveril Street.

Of most historical interest is the early 19th-century house with framework-knitter's windows on its third storey (above the red car). These large windows were essential to give the hand-loom weavers enough light. The Alfreton Road frontage of the house is shown in Alan Murray-Rust's photograph of the Alma Inn http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1044403. This photograph is also notable in showing the then home, on the left, of the alluring fellow student who shared the Forest Fields Grammar School 0-level English prize with me in 1964.

The backs of houses on Waterloo Promenade, photographed on a drab winter afternoon.

Like Forest Fields, this was one of the more genteel late Victorian developments in the parish of Radford.

The name dates this pub to the period immediately following the Crimean War. Of particular interest however is the adjacent house which retains its top-storey framework knitters windows, the only remaining example in Nottingham.
