Description: Showing Nottingham Castle on Castle Rock. Castle Boulevard did not exist here as a road until c 1890. Prior to this date it was a semi-rural lane leading to Lenton, with canal basins, ropewalk (usefully located near the canal, supplying tow ropes and rigging for working boats), drydocks, workshops and boat yards. This picture was taken from an album belonging to T C Moore (who also drew a scene from this location. See NTGM006937)
