Djanogly City Academy - Forest Campus
This new building was built 3 or 4 years ago to replace the old Forest comprehensive school. The long (about 3 - 400 metres) and low building is faced with glass and aluminium, and it makes an interesting contrast with the many substantial brick buildings (housing, public buildings, and industrial sites) in this area of Nottingham.

New and old schools seen from The Forest
The Djanogly City Academy is on tree-lined Gregory Boulevard. Above it, behind the tree in the centre, are the white gables of Forest Fields Primary and Nursery School on Berridge Road, and to the right the chimneys and spiky spire of the High Pavement (later Forest Fields) Grammar School on Stanley Road http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1370280 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408929. Beyond that, at the top of the ridge, is Mount Street Mill with its white water tank.

Nottingham - NG5 (Gregory Boulevard)
In this central section of Gregory Boulevard – an avenue constructed and planted out in 1881 – is “The 11-14 Centre” (component) of Djanogly City Academy specialising in information and computer technology. The building, on the former Forest Comprehensive School site, was designed by Foster & Partners and opened in 2003 to replace the Djanogly City Technology College. Both institutions were named after their sponsor, Sir Harry Djanogly, the textile millionaire. Opposite the academy is The Forest, home of the annual Goose Fair.

The Forest Park and Ride site – 1982
More a question of Park and Slide in the prevailing weather conditions!
The main parking area has now moved to the unused section to the left, following the construction of the Nottingham tramway, which has taken over from buses.

Beside The Forest fence
As can be seen, the fence itself has been long since cut away, giving the area a real feel of openness.
