Albert Ball Memorial Homes

The Albert Ball Memorial Homes, built in 1922 in Lenton, Nottingham, serve as a poignant tribute to the families of local servicemen who lost their lives in World War I. Commissioned by Alderman Albert Ball in memory of his son, a fighter pilot, the homes are uniquely designed to resemble an aircraft, with features like curving doors and windows that evoke the look of wings and propellers. This architectural gem, which includes eight residences, was recognized as a Grade II* listed building in 1995. Additionally, the nearby Lenton War Memorial honors Albert Ball and is also Grade II* listed, making this site a significant historical landmark for tourists and researchers alike.
