Dist:0.1km north<br/>Small gothic-style church from 1867, it is now out of use and it looks as if interior demolition may already be under way.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Nottingham had a very progressive approach to library provision with a number of quite substantial suburban locations at the end of the 19th century, many of which survive in use. In most cases the space is now used to provide ancillary book storage alongside the continuing lending facilities.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>When it opened, around 1980, this Cooperative superstore was very much a flagship. However, the location was never really ideal, and it never seemed to be particularly busy, and it finally closed just a few weeks before this picture was taken.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Roundels on the white panels of the pillars have the monogram NCS, but even without them this frontage has all the hallmarks of having been a coop store. It ceased to be one when the superstore [[1197042]] on the opposite side of the road was opened, and has since had a variety of occupants, that last one being a charity. It has been unoccupied for some months now and I feel it unlikely that either it or its successor will find new occupants.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>I don't think that this building was originally a church, and it certainly looks disused again now.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This point is where the 1970s redevelopment of St Anns stopped, and existing buildings stayed in place. However, even the terraced houses at the top of the hill would have been superior to the bulk of those replaced, and worth retaining.
