St. Pauls Street, NOTTINGHAM, NG8 1PW

Many of the Victorian terraced houses at the Wollaton Road end of Kennington and Canterbury Roads were demolished in the 1970s, but this side of St Paul's Street remains. To the left, roofers are working on the council houses built in the late 1930s. This area, photographed on a grey September morning, was once known as Sodom, as older Nottinghamians may remember.

This part of Radford originally developed near the railway station in the last quarter of the 19th century. It expanded in the 1930s when these council houses were built, and new houses like the one in the background on the right replaced some of the Victorian ones in the 1970s. When I was a boy this area was locally known as Sodom.

A view from Canterbury Road, taken on a misty September morning. These council houses date from the 1930s, when the streets west of Radford Station were extended northwards. When I was a boy this part of Radford was known as Sodom.

A drab and misty September morning in an area of Radford once known as Sodom, as older Nottinghamians may recall. Many of the Victorian terraces at the Wollaton Road end of this area were demolished in the 1970s, but the council houses built in the late 1930s remain.

The white building in the centre is where Pearce's ice cream was once made. Older Nottinghamians will remember it clearly - bright white vanilla, with tiny shards of ice in it. The building is now occupied by another ice cream maker, Coronato Bros. The colourful building in the distance, on the other side of the railway, is Opal 1, a block of student flats.

Next to the former Pearce's ice cream factory (to the left). Player's Bonded Warehouse is in the background, on the corner of Wollaton Road and Triumph Road.

On the corner of Kennington Road and Wollaton Road. Formerly the Midland Hotel.

Kennington Road is part of the catchment area for Southwold Primary School. It is a cul-de-sac, with a railway line running just beyond the furthest most houses.

Looking across the corner of Medway Street towards Wollaton Road and Player's Bonded Warehouse. Many of the Victorian terraces in this area - which, older Nottinghamians will remember, was once known as Sodom - were demolished in the 1970s. To the right, where the railings are, there was once a long terrace. The building on the left-hand corner of Wollaton Road, next to the 30mph sign, was once The Midland Hotel and the shop on the right was once a Shipstone's off-licence (or beer-off).
