Street Art: House Art in Nottingham NG4, England

alexkemp 于 2016年六月19日 以 English 发布 最后一次更新于2016年七月 1日。

Here are some nice examples of art expressed in the houses themselves. Only one full example, but first let’s start with a very beautiful front door in Hillview Road, Porchester, Nottingham NG4 (etched glass + stained glass leaded-lights):

Next is a modest little shield on the wall of a house in Ernest Road, NG4 (we English have been much influenced by the heraldry of the 14th Century):

The district around Ernest Road is full of 1920s & 1930s houses (a period renowned for the quality of it’s housing in England as, following the slaughter of the Great War, the nation built “homes fit for heros”). Here is a good example of one of those:

The lead-lights provide internal light for the staircase. I also love the stone lions!

My final, quirky example of house-art comes from the first house built in 1929 on a former apple orchard in (what became) Highfield Drive, Carlton NG4. The date of the house was immortalised by the builders in the leading within the front-door, and the current owners allowed me to photograph it today:—
