Lord Nelson Street
Nottingham, Sneinton
England

The Lord Nelson began life as a pair of cottages which were knocked into one about 200 years ago. The cottages were thought to date back a further 300 years. The cellars are caves hollowed out of sandstone. It was formerly known as 'Hornbuckles'. Sneinton is one of the oldest parts of Nottingham. It has Nottingham's only surviving windmill, the birthplace of the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth, and the home of the internationally famous scientist George Green. It also has remains of cave dwellings and the parish church, St Stephen's. Sneinton was originally called 'Notintone' but by 1194 the present name was recorded and has remained unchanged through the centuries. Formed about 900 AD, until 1877 Sneinton remained a seperate community from the city. It covered a large rural area bounded by the river Trent downstream to Colwick Park, following a line North to the top of Colwick woods, across Sneinton Dale and Carlton Road, turning to run along the line of Gordon Road down to Sneinton market, returning to the river along a course parallel with and to the East of London Road. Sneinton officially became part of the city of Nottingham in 1877.
