Thoroton Street
Straight ahead is a typical Nottingham hosiery factory, the former Royal Albert Mill on Gamble Street, now student accommodation. Thoroton Street takes its name from the 17th-century Nottinghamshire antiquarian Robert Thoroton - or the Vale of Belvoir village which gave him his surname. The photograph is taken through a gap in the traffic on Alfreton Road.
