Street Art: Nottingham NG4 House Art Redux

Posted by alexkemp on 23 June 2016 in English. Last updated on 24 June 2016.

I was eulogising about House Art in these Diaries last Sunday 19 June, starting with a fine example of etched glass set within Leaded Lights in Hillview Road. The following day I set off on a long trek down the length of Foxhill Road West, followed by Central & East. Blow me down, but it was not very long before another superb example showed up:

Foxhill Road window art

It got worse. Halfway down was the Richard Herrod Sports Centre and, just beyond it, a former golf course recently converted into a housing estate. Every single house had a similar front door!

A little earlier was a more light-hearted example of this species: a house with a red squirrel climbing up a metal fence:—

Excellent!

Alex, I followed your link to Richard Herrod Sports Centre. I noticed that in the opening_hours tag there is “Mo,Fr …” Is this correct ? Or did you mean “Mo-Fr” (the range) ?

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/escada: thanks, escada, my bad. I’ve changed it to the range, and it will be uploaded shortly with some more little amendments to the parking areas + recent discovery of a boys/girls football changing rooms.

In fact, with a little exploration you could have sourced my error yourself: the Sports Centre link has a mapilliary link and, following connections to that photo would have brought you to another photo with a schoolboy-error as I photograph the opening hours + myself + the rain (English June weather is almost permanently “sunshine&showers”, as the folks at Glastonbury Music Festival are discovering at this moment).

Even when I wouldn’t been have lazy as I was now, and checked the opening_hours somehow, I would still had to let you know that you made a small mistake :-)
