Nottingham - NG5
Bennett Street, a cul-de-sac off Woodborough Road (B684), showing a new housing development outside the boundary wall of the former Mapperley mental hospital. The institutional-style hospital building is part of "Duncan Macmillan House", a unit that continues to provide mental health care services. The name Mapperley is thought to be associated with a certain Mr Thomas Mappurley, an M.P. for Nottingham between 1353-56 who owned of an area of land known as "The Mappurley Closes" in 1377. It seems highly likely that the bricks used to build the hospital and its numerous extensions came from the Mapperley Brick Works that once existed immediately opposite the entrance to Bennett Street.
