Bramcote Hills forms the northern area of the village and Nottingham suburb of Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, built in the 1950s. It is separated from the main part of the village by the A52 Derby Road (the Brian Clough Way). It takes the name from an old family seat of Bramcote Hills, the home of the Sherwin and Sherwin-Gregory family.
To the north is Bramcote Ridge, Bramcote Moor and Wollaton. To the southeast is the town of Beeston.
The Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College was located in the area — now the site will become part of the Alderman White School and Language College. This together with the nearby Bramcote Park Business & Enterprise School forms the White Hills Park Federation.
Famous quotes containing the word hills:
“So hills and valleys into singing break;
And though poor stones have neither speech nor tongue,
While active winds and streams both run and speak,
Yet stones are deep in admiration.
Thus praise and prayer here beneath the Sun
Make lesser mornings when the great are done.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
