Information AboutClifton, Nottinghamshire |
|
Clifton is a suburb of the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire . The term also encompasses the nearby Clifton Village , a picturesque residential area set alongside the River Trent . The village is notable for many old houses including Clifton Hall . Clifton proper, however, is a sprawling conurbation which was at one time the largest council estate in Europe. Since the 1980s, however, most of the houses have passed from council to private ownership. Enjoying a sometimes undeserved reputation for social problems such as crime and poor housing, Clifton (like many of Nottingham's immediate suburbs) has benefited in recent years from redevelopment and regeneration work initiated by the city council. The estate has a shopping centre and relatively good transport links (by bus) with the city and surrounding areas. EXTERNAL LINKS |
