Description: Showing the Finishing Walk. Reminders of the UK industrial history of rope-making remain in street names such as 'Rope-makers Street' in the City of London and 'Rope-Walks' all over the country; Nottingham has The Ropewalk which is up near the old General Hospital. W. Coates and Sons large rope and twine manufacturing business was housed in the premises shown here on Commercial Street. The location now lies beneath the Queens Medical centre. The Company also had a shop at 12 Montpelier Road.
