Comments on: Front Street, Arnold, in 1993 http://nottinghamviews.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/front-street-arnold-in-1993/ A personal exploration of the history and architecture of Nottingham Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:45:41 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Claire http://nottinghamviews.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/front-street-arnold-in-1993/#comment-62 Claire Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:18:59 +0000 http://nottinghamviews.wordpress.com/?p=92#comment-62 What a fantastic blog. It's such a shame to see how Arnold has been 'let go'. It used to be such a thriving market town - I would have been 11 when those phoeos were taken (I lived there almost my entire life, before moving to London) - every time I go home, I find the downward spiral of the town very upsetting and start plotting the many letters that I'm going to write to MPs and council members.

I knew about The Doctor's house on Church Street, but I didn't know that the farmhouse was his first residence. That’s fantastic Stuart – thank you for the extra info.

From the Stenhouse Centre web site: "The surgery is named after Dr Daniel Stenhouse, who was the first doctor in our practice. Dr Stenhouse was born in Auchterarder, Scotland, in 1848 and graduated from Edinburgh University in 1876. He married Mary Worrall of Arnold and was a Medical Missionary in Chu Chia Province in China until 1886, working for the New Connection Methodist Church. In 1886 he became a general practitioner in Arnold and practised from Ebenezer House, which was the old farmhouse at the bottom of Worrall Avenue, until 1897. He then moved to live and practise from Arnold House, Church Street until his death in 1916." http://www.stenhousemedicalcentre.co.uk/practice_history.html The demolished house from the first pic was the home of one of Arnold’s most distinguished residents, Dr. Daniel Stenhouse.
