  1. Hello Rog,

    I wondered about Basford for the gas holders.The site used for Boon seemed to be a very large area of industrial demolition,it looked like a really big works or factory.It had been completely levelled,with just a few large steel RSJs etc left standing.At one side of the site was a small street with a few terraced houses and smaller brick built industrial buildings.

    Looking forward to the Barnby pictures.

  2. littlebro,

    Thanks for that,Derby Road Stapleford,another location sorted.My first thought was the Kwik Fit on Nottingham Road New Basford but it didn't fit.

    This next location might be quite hard to find.It could be in a suburb of Nottingham,say West Bridgford,or maybe a nearby village.It is from the Summer of 1989.The third photo shows the road in front of the white house.

  3. Lynmee,

    You could be right.The buildings at Tollerton now don't match but have any been demolished in the past twenty years ?,the more I look,the black painted hangars seem familiar.

    The scenes at this airfield were filmed on a Summer's evening in 1989 and with the position of the Sun I would say that the gate-way and country lane is to the West/South West of the hangars,which would fit Tollerton.

    Here is another photo that shows some distinctive brick/tin Nissen type buildings that are between the gate and the hangars.A few posts back Beefsteak mentioned Trent lane and I think there are some similar buildings down there.

  4. In that episode Ken and Harry are looking at an OS map with the location of Dornford Hall ficticiously marked on it,the location clearly visible as supposedly near to Loughborough.

    Just as an aside,in the episode shown on TV last week,Thrumpton Hall was used as the location for 'Upper Ridley Hall',this too was added to an OS map,the fictitious location being on the hill between Clipston on the Wolds and Normanton on the Wolds.

    They have the Nottingham OS map visible in the background in numerous episodes,in one episode it was on a wall but actually displayed turned through 90 degrees.

  5. Looking like it could be Wymeswold,hard to be sure though,the airfield has been redeveloped and it doesn't look like there are any of the old hangars left.A few of the local disused airfields have been redeveloped in the past 20 years and look totally different now.I don't think the location is Langar or Bottesford.

    This one might be a bit too difficult to locate with certainty.While we ponder the airfield,here is one that should be much easier...
