Firstly: the city as a whole generally ranks poorly against criteria that define what a ‘nice’ place to live is. It is regularly measured in different ways as being the UK’s most economically deprived area (although the council argues that the large student population skews income-based statistics), and it has persistently low educational outcomes for school leavers. Because these things tend to go together, in the 1990s and early noughties, Nottingham also struggled with high rates of violent crime, which were sensationalised by the media into a blanket representation of place. <br /> <br /> Despite this broader reputation, though, Mapperley Park is considered one of two ‘nice’ areas within the city limits. (The other, The Park, sits just behind Nottingham Castle.) Before it became a neighbourhood, it had been the parkland estate of Mapperley Hall, built during the eighteenth century. Owned by a family of bankers, the estate embodied a very British kind of class insecurity. According to Nottingham Civic Society, unlike similar areas across the country, ‘Mapperley Park lacked the presence of an aristocratic family and the associated flamboyance, arrogance and real wealth,’<a href="applewebdata://3293DD53-4BA0-45EC-B976-669187780C14#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[5]</a> and this absence of nobility meant the estate soon became financially unsustainable. It was sold off as lots throughout the mid- to late-nineteenth century, and new homes were built for the same exodus of the middle-class that Wright refers to in her research. <br /> <br /> Much of the Edwardian estate that was created remains today. Many of the houses did have names, particularly those designed by notable architects or commissioned for important residents, but others did not. Compared to the rest of the city, the houses and plots of land are massive, and property prices reflect this. The roads are wide, and many are named after military campaigns fought to strengthen and expand the British Empire (<i>Lucknow Drive, Magdala Road, Zulla Road).</i> Most are lined with mature trees now protected under conservation status, so the area is leafy and green, and contrasts starkly with surrounding neighbourhoods that are either former slums turned into low-income housing, or are still tightly packed together with terraces built to house Victorian factory workers. My point is that Mapperley Park is not just any suburb. It is an inhabitable reminder of an age of industrial revolution, imperial dominance, and searing class divides. To live there means to live within an environment that was created as a result of having historic status and power and wealth—but not so much that it couldn’t be taken away. <br /> <br /> The original house signs studded through the neighbourhood are part of that. So many of the houses now punctuate the streets with signs and names (as well as numbers), that you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Royal Mail’s estimated 1% of houses have all congregated together in a single spot. That they are prolific in this area isn’t a coincidence, nor that they exist irrespective, in most cases, of any utility. These signs act as signifiers of the neighbourhood’s cultural history, passed from one homeowner to the next. And the replicas that are designed online or in garden centres reinforce this idea of heritage, whether it is real or assumed. More homes are visually established as having some semblance of social and historical significance, which reaffirms the narrative. Mapperley Park continues to be ‘nice’ and, by extension, maintains (an artificial) distinction from the rest of the ‘not nice’ city.<br /> <br /> [...] </span><br /> </column-unit></column-set> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2768067642568886614929320607756/Adobe-Express---Screen-Recording-2023-12-07-at-12.05.59.gif Documentation of four walks through Google Streetview and as drawn maps https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2768070683201052516695842127884/routes-9450.gif https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2768090718578725854114043297804/Screen-Recording-2023-12-07-at-09.26.16.mov Mapping of photographs to show clusters within the suburb https://hannahellis.cargo.site/caring-through-making 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2769229221536315623419504132108/IMG_2884-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2769229385380296486107741585420/IMG_2937-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N2769229496706396970944885587980/IMG_2936-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2769229585398342477340409757708/IMG_2933-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2769229981837319365432383537164/IMG_2935-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/X2769240825663589375223753244684/GLAD.gif https://hannahellis.cargo.site/student-journeys 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/critical-contexts 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/making-for-mental-health 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2769122834403982569418270343180/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.51.29.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2769123322375703551257039241228/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.50.36.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2769124383063487789556257161228/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.50.47.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2769124645782016887327691276300/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.52.42.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2769125501637154931156048052236/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.51.45.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2769126912130547039209493266444/Screenshot-2024-05-16-at-16.55.27.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/the-circuit 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/in-action 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/moc4 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2635649769681881222757558452519/horizontal.png https://hannahellis.cargo.site/cv 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://hannahellis.cargo.site/information 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://hannahellis.cargo.site/mobile-header 2026-02-07T17:57:45+00:00 always 0.5 https://hannahellis.cargo.site/footer-right-(desktop) 2026-02-07T10:31:45+00:00 always 0.5
