'Sneinton - My Home Town'
As the morning
Twilight wanders forth.
She's hugged by
Carlton to her North.
Offering peace by
Word of mouth
Embraced by Colwick
To her South.
In sunny times
And even rain
Toward her South-west,
Is Meadow Lane.
Meanwhile amidst
Such joyous feast
Sits Bakersfield
To her East.
Not least shall be
Her brightest load
The district's main
Connecting road.
Raised to prosper
And to prevail
Is the loveliness
Of Sneinton Dale.
Most famous for
Her green windmill
That stands atop
Of Sneinton Hill -
Is that wonder called
The Science Center
Where all inquiring
Minds can enter.
Located at
King Edward Park,
A boarding school
Did history mark.
The birthplace too
Of William Booth
The Salvation Army's
Great man of truth.
Esteeming the community,
With high regard
Is the Hermitage center,
On Sneinton Boulevard.
Where, costumes for
Carnival get made,
In readiness for the year's
Festival and summer parade.
Where arts, crafts and talents
Get creatively displayed.
Firmly a top
Trent road is perched
The grandeur of
St Christopher's Church.
Locals can meet
In her community hall
Where events are available,
Free for all.
