'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.
