We had a walk this afternoon, along the Nottingham to Beeston canal. From Castle Marina, to the River Trent, along the embankment, over Wilford suspension bridge, back along the river to Trent Bridge, through the Meadows to the railway station and then back along the canal to Castle Marina. We do the walk fairly regularly, there’s some great juxtaposition between canal and city.
On the way back we pop up to street level and visit the Hopkinson Antique & Art Centre, they do lovely cappuccino’s and hot chocolate, they are also dog friendly, so Elsie our little whippet can come in with us. In fact the staff really like Elsie and she gets admiring glances from many customers too. They also have a vintage camera corner, albeit the prices seem very high. It's also the home to many events for Nottingham creatives, poetry , music, open mic's, crochet and a regular LGBTQ+ evening (a safe place event for the LGBTQ+ community and friends).
All in all it's a top venue and you can bag some antique bargains too (but maybe not cameras !)
A fantastic image with great colors and fun things to look at. The Hopkinson Centre sounds wonderful (hot chocolate for me please) and I love the fact they're dog friendly. Have you taken some pictures of the inside?
That's a very nice place to stop for a coffee and added to it to have a look around for some good bargain when ready. Your capture of it is so lovely. I likke the passer-by too.
