Recently demolished buildings on Triumph Road

Two buildings have just been demolished: Woolpack House on the left, and Carlton Furniture on the right. Carlton Furniture are retaining buildings and a service yard to the rear of the site. Woolpack House has been owned by the University of Nottingham for several years, so this may be in preparation for more university building.

Changing streetscape of Triumph Road

Until recently this section of Triumph Road was still lined with buildings from the 1930s when the road was first built. In the foreground is the new Power Engineering building of the university, with a tall block of student flats in the rear.

The Exchange Building, Jubilee Campus

The recent demolition of the last of the Players Bonded Warehouses makes it apparent how much higher the central Exchange Building is compared with the other teaching buildings.

Council Housing & tramlines, Gregory Street

These are fairly typical Nottingham Corporation council houses from the 1930's and 1940's. These ones appear to have been built just post-WWII. They look to have been altered later, as more modern pointing and brickwork can be seen over windows on the end houses of each terrace. This section of Gregory Street has been erroneously shown on Ordnance Maps as Lenton Lane, but reference to old street directories, old maps and the house numbering shows that this is Gregory Street. Furthermore Lenton Lane is a very recent name: it was known as Trent Lane until about 1945. The Gregory Street tramstop is just out of the image to the right.

Former Red Cross offices, Lenton

These were the local offices of the British Red Cross in Nottingham. Constructed in the early 1970s, they have been out of use for several years and are finally about to be demolished. Out of frame to the right is a garage which originally housed an ambulance, but in recent years has been used by a car repair business.

Recently Pollarded Crack Willows, Clayton's Bridge, Lenton

Quite a dramatic change. This willows normally obscure the timber merchant behind, and most of the year shade the path from Lenton Lane down to the canal towpath. A figwort plant is present on the sloping glacis in the foreground: it looks to have been in flower until quite recently.

Rear of housing terrace, Montpellier Road, Dunkirk

From the front this terrace appears to be a standard 2 storey Victorian terrace. From the rear it is clear that the whole of the terrace has had an extra storey added at the rear. Presumably each house has been divided into two flats, with the upper flats accessed from the rear alley. The taller building to the left with the long extractor vent is now a Thai restaurant, but was probably built as a corner shop.

Dunkirk, a small outlier of Lenton was developed piecemeal over several decades. This group was probably built around 1900. The terrace has been modified later by adding an additional storey at the rear.

Holy Trinity Lenton, Churchyard Lucombe Oak

The tree still partially in leaf at the entrance to Holy Trinity churchyard is a Lucombe Oak (a cross between Turkey Oak & Cork Oak (Quercus x hispanica). It is actually one of a pair, with another one behind the church on Church Road.

Curious metal pole, Lime Tree Avenue

This rather rusty metal post lies near the east end of Lime Tree Avenue just behind houses on Lanark Close. I have no idea as to its purpose, but have been intrigued by it ever since I first noticed it.

New Technology Entrepreneurship Centre nears completion

This rather cumbersomely titled building is on the University of Nottingham's Innovation Park sited within the Jubilee Campus. It is likely to be the last building of the current development phase.

Although a considerable amount of tidying up is still going on around the outside of the building it appears to be occupied. The tree is one of an avenue of Scholar's Trees (Sophora japonica) planted as mature trees around 2007 at a cost of £5000 each.
