Beeston is a town in the Borough of Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, England, located 3 miles (4.8 km) south-west of Nottingham city centre. To its north-east is the University of Nottingham's main campus, University Park. The headquarters of the pharmaceutical and retail chemist group Boots are 0.6 miles 1 km east of the centre of Beeston, on the border with Broxtowe and the City of Nottingham. To the south lie the River Trent and the village of Attenborough, with extensive wetlands. Mid-20th-century suburban development extended the built-up area of Beeston to the former villages of Chilwell to the west and Wollaton and Lenton Abbey to the north. Beeston is separated from Bramcote to the northwest by the Beeston Fields Golf Course. The Broxtowe and City of Nottingham border essentially forms the town's eastern edge. The centre and shopping district lies to the north of the railway line. The mixed residential and industrial area of Beeston Rylands lies to the line's south. Carpets in Beeston
