A derelict shop on Alfreton Road
I believe the derelict end-of-terrace shop on the corner of Alfreton Road and Collison Street was, in my post-war childhood in these parts, a dry cleaner’s owned by Nottingham Panthers’ Canadian ice hockey star Chick Zamick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_Zamick ).

The Student Lodge, Player Street
Much of The Student Lodge, the former Player's No 1 Tobacco Factory, was destroyed by fire in March 2015. This eastern section has been saved and has reopened. The grey-surrounded windows to the right of the doorway were once a cart and lorry entrance, and the preserved notice to the right of it recalls those times. It reads
