I grew up in one of the worser areas of Nottingham. Reknowned for once being the biggest council estate in Europe and still inhabiting over 22,000 residents today, Clifton is a cacophony of endless houses that all look the same, teenaged mothers, benefit busters and ofcourse the occasional crack whore. Apart from a few old biddies who have lived here since day one and the younger families who are just starting out here because it's cheap... you could say Clifton is pretty awful.
But alas! All hope is not lost. If you take a stroll across to the other side of the A453 you will discover that actually, even in a place where Sun Valley Amusements is the hotspot of town, there is beauty to be found. My friend and I took some photos of it today whilst taking the dog for a walk. I will apologise for the quality of these snaps... Chester was a handful and the sunny sights were distracting! I guess the title of this blog works on many levels!
