Woodborough Road
(Mansfield Rd to City Boundary)
Hi. Folks,
Due to the “Lock down” trying to take regular exercise we decided to walk in to Town instead of taking the usual bus...Mapperley Plains down to Vicky Centre...walking down Woodborough Rd. just before the old Sycamore Rd. now Hungerhill Rd. noticed a plaque on the wall of some recently beautifully restored “Lambley Almshouses”... they look very “Watson Fothergill” in there design pic attached....thank goodness they weren’t knocked down as well ...
We of course got the back home yes a number 47 ..a nice St. Ann’s touch
