Looking west along Woodborough Road, showing the Belle Vue Inn in the foreground. Woodborough Road runs from Nottingham City to Mapperley Plains, three miles away.
John and Margaret Hutton were the landlord and landlady in 1976. Next to the pub was a sweet shop. On the corner was Taggs the grocers, run by a lovely lady called Ivy and her family. Across the road was a chemist, a butchers, a bakers, a little antique shop, veg shop, haberdashers, news agent etc. There is just an old vacuum cleaner shop now and a small general store.
