IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Tennyson Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG7 4FT

A view into the sun from the corner of Tennyson Street. Nottingham's first suburbs were developed to the north-west of the city centre in the thirty or so years after the 1845 Enclosure Act.

An unusually narrow street, part of the mid-19th century development of this part of Nottingham following the Inclosure Act of 1845.

Looking down Goodwin Street is a strange experience. It is actually more like a 'back alley' in that it serves the tall Victorian houses that have their front doors on Burns Street and All Saints Street, whilst having their back doors opening on to this almost Dickensian passageway constructed of setts.

Built 1863-4 by Thomas Hine as the vicarage to All Saints Church. In the late 20th century part of the house was converted to provide a Community House, under the aegis of TocH, for students with a Christian outlook. Listed Grade II.

Several houses in Gedling Grove boast features similar to those incorporated in other buildings in Nottingham by the Victorian architect T.C. Hine (1813-99). Indeed All Saints Church, Raleigh Street, that was designed by him is only a few streets away from this one. In the distance, across Waverley St is the Arboretum and thus it seems likely that this house, and others in this street and neighbourhood were designed by well established architects as homes for wealthy families in what was once one of the formerly 'nicer parts' of the city.

Changed very little in the last 29 years!

An August-morning view from the corner of Gedling Grove, looking towards Forest Road West. These streets of substantial houses are part of Nottingham's first suburbs, built to the north of the city's mediaeval core after the Enclosure Act of 1845.

On Gedling Grove, Nottingham. Rather strange example of the dramatic Victorian architecture in this inner suburb of the city. I lived in this house in my 3rd year at Nottingham University and for about nine months after.
