On Burns Street
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.

Forest Road West, Nottingham
Substantial villas and leafy streets characterise the Forest Road area between Alfreton Road and Mansfield Road. This was once a prosperous Victorian suburb - a similar district in inner London would no doubt still be considered highly desirable today. Sadly, despite its obvious attractions, this area is run down with most of the houses split into multi-occupancy dwellings and a reputation for high levels of crime. Nevertheless, this row on the south side of Forest Road manages to look impressive.

Gedling Grove, Nottingham
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.

A surviving factory chimney
Most of the chimneys of the former lace factories on Russell, Newdigate and Gamble Streets have been demolished, but there is what Elain Harwood (in the Pevsner Architectural Guide) describes as "a majestic survivor at Albert Mill, a rebuilding by Arthur W Brewill, dated 1893; now flats." For a view of it from Alfreton Road, see
