Nottingham - Carrington NG5
A view of a segment of Watcombe Circus. Behind the railings are severl blocks of retirement apartments. Prior to their existence this was the site of Carrington Lido, a public leisure facility opened in 1937 and finally closed in 1988. Originally the site housed stables for the horses that used to power local trams. However, once these animals were no longer needed following the introduction of electric trams on the Sherwood to Nottingham city centre route, circa 1901, the buildings became surplus to the tram company's requirements.
