Nottingham businesses in Sneinton join forces to create the city’s ‘most floral street’

Two Nottingham businesses have joined forces to create the city’s ‘most floral street corner’. 

A.W. Lymn The Family Funeral Service and The Bath Inn have joined forces to decorate their buildings in Robin Hood Street, Sneinton, with a display of 76 hanging baskets of petunias. 

The unlikely collaboration has been well received by the general public, with those passing by stopping in to compliment the new colourful additions.

It’s hoped that the hanging baskets will bring smiles to faces for the final days of summer.

First established in 1907, A.W. Lymn has serving Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield for 117 years. 

The Bath Inn, meanwhile, has been a mainstay in Sneinton since 1820, becoming well-known over recent years for having a Dr Who Tardis mural inside. 

Emma Percival, Marketing Manager at A.W. Lymn, said: “As a local business, we’re always looking for ways to make our city a welcoming and vibrant place to be, and there’s perhaps no better way to do so than in collaboration with another Nottingham business.

“Floristry is a big part of our offering as a funeral directors, so the hanging baskets are a really fitting addition to what people see when they walk by, and hang nicely above the florist shop and showroom windows for our Rolls-Royce and newly added electric fleet.

 “We’re thrilled that members of the public have taken the time to come into our main office and admire the flowers and we’ve been able to spread some joy in the local area.”
