Looking from Sherwood Rise towards Gladstone Street and Forest Fields. Any number of houses of this kind were built as Nottingham mushroomed in the last twenty years of the nineteenth century.
This lodge was built back in the days when there was a racecourse on the Forest and served as a police house. Later it was used by the Park Superintendent. Apparently there is an underground set of rooms which served as the living area, the upper floor being bedrooms.
