Comments on map:

In the usual Stephens and Mackintosh style, and in the usual state of survival, with the advertisements cropped. Dated 1898 by Nottingham Library, but it is noticable that there are extensive sidings at the Great Central goods station south of Arkwright Street, which might argue a slightly later date.
