Description: This view is taken from London Road looking towards Canal Street, showing the demolition of Boot's Police security post at the entrance to their Island Street works. In the right background are the old warehouses once used in conjunction with the Poplar spur of the Nottingham Canal, the course of which, though now dry, terminates at the wall near the lamp standard (far left). In the centre are the new and old factories of William Allen and Sons, cardboard box manufacturers. In the left background is Plumtree Hospital and the Ice Stadium.
