1944 Corner Lamppost Midland Midlands Nottingham Notts Nurses Standard Steep Windows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and historic charm of Standard Hill, West and North in Nottingham, England, as it appeared in the 1940s. The steep, winding road, lined with elegant buildings and pavements, climbs up the hill, leading the eye to the distinctive corner where West and North meet. In the foreground, the pavement is filled with the shadows of passersby and the occasional lamppost, while the buildings on either side display an array of windows, some open, some closed, revealing glimpses of daily life within. The Nurses Home, a prominent building in the background on the right, adds a poignant touch to this scene. Built in the late 19th century, the Nurses Home provided accommodation for nurses working at the nearby Nottingham General Hospital. During the 1940s, it would have been a hive of activity as the city dealt with the challenges of the Second World War. The image of the Nurses Home, with its tall chimney stack and red brick facade, stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the healthcare workers who served their community during this time. Standard Hill, located in the heart of Nottingham, the Midlands, has long been a favorite subject for photographers and artists, capturing the essence of this historic and beautiful city. This photograph, taken in 1944, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of change and adversity, yet also of hope and determination.
