Description: Looking west along Urban Road, which had been renamed Station Road by 1914. Primrose Street joins in the left distance, while the large building with the chimney on the horizon was a brewery designed by the noted Nottingham architect Watson Fothergill in 1899. In the foreground a man or youth carries a child towards the camera.
The terraced houses on the right with their dormers and palisaded fronts (still standing in 2012 but much modified) are indicative of the transition Carlton was undergoing at the time of this photograph from a village into a suburb of Nottingham. As part of this process all the other buildings seen here were destined to be demolished and replaced within a few years.
