St Ann’s sits in western Nottingham, a residential neighbourhood that grew significantly during the Victorian era. Once known as Clay Fields, the area took its present name and developed into a distinct suburb as the city expanded outward. Today it occupies a position between the city centre and the suburbs beyond, connected by local roads and bus services that make travel across Nottingham straightforward.
The neighbourhood is primarily residential in character, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces forming much of its streetscape. Streets like Berridge Road and Huntingdon Street give the area its distinctive urban grain. St Ann’s has maintained its local identity whilst being integral to Nottingham’s urban fabric, serving as a established residential community for generations of families and workers seeking housing within the city proper.
