SK5739 : Down Hollowstone
taken 9 years ago, near to Nottingham, England
Down Hollowstone
This was once the main route into the centre of Nottingham from the east, and the road level was lowered in the eighteenth century to ease the passage of horse-drawn wagons. Short Hill, in shadow on the right, shows the original road level. In the nineteenth century huge warehouses like the one on the left (now student flats) were built all over the Lace Market. The bright light of an April morning shows just how orange Nottingham-made brick is.
The picture was taken from St Mary's churchyard:
SK5739 : Hollowstone, High Pavement and St Mary's is the view up Hollowstone (or Hollow Stone) from Short Hill.
