Nottingham - NG7 (Lenton)
These Imperial Tobacco Company warehouses on Wollaton Road (A609) were originally owned by Players. Although John Player (1839-84) was born in Saffron Walden, Essex he began his career by purchasing a shop on Beastmarket Hill NG1 and selling seeds and fertiliser. Later he started to sell loose tobacco to farmers and very soon his tobacco sales were proving much more lucrative. By 1871 he was registered as a tobacconist and was employing one man and three boys. In 1877, he bought a small tobacco factory at 45, Broadmarsh. By 1939 his third factory on Radford Boulevard had been constructed along with these bonded tobacco warehouses. Until their demolition, 2016-22, the latter had the capacity to store 20,000 tons of tobacco leaf. However, the site, including these buildings, was acquired by the University in 2016 for a 280-room hall of residence.
