Looks like you are correct. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM018610&prevUrl=

On a first quick glance at this thread title, I thought it was another of Compo's gardening things - about turnips.

The whole area is undergoing a bit of a makeover at the moment, mainly due to the tram expanding out to the south, and it looks better than it has for many years. This is now the view looking down Arkwright Street (on the right). That view may look a bit empty, but the tram goes on a viaduct behind the old bank building. It comes out on the ramp in this photo below. The road in the foreground is Arkwright Street - about where I've marked a red cross in the photo above.

The last shops on Arkwright Street, in both senses. This is what the the top end of Arkwright Street looks like now. It is all that remains of the shops which used to be the length of Arkwright Street (and I don't know how long these few will survive). It used to look like this. And going round the corner onto Queens Road, this is all that remains there; and am I right in remembering that the pink building used to be a motor-bike dealers?

'Britain from Above" certainly does, Michael. Go to their site and in the Search box put "Nottingham Meadow Lane"; you'll get half a dozen examples.

That looks a bit like a map I might've put somewhere in Nottstalgia. Have you looked at this thread, which has a lot of information about the area? http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9116&page=1

According to 'Britain from Above' the photo is 1928, so you're slightly out ! It's here, with a few variations as well http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=bulwell

Some of the detail gets lost at this size, so I've added a few markers. I'd never realised until now that York Street continued on to Glasshouse Street. The present line of Glasshouse Street has that kink which follows the outline of the station.

Looking at 'Britain from Above', they describe this as 'The Forest Lace Finishing Works, Bulwell' which may be the place you are referring to. Easy to locate because of the viaduct.

I didn't know the area at all, but I know more now than I did yesterday. Based on what Darkazana and richonmc1 have said, I can identify everything on Streetview. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0095504,-1.2556963,3a,75y,67.45h,83.27t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1siEGHR4DVDb4ZCW_ay8VF4A!2e0?hl=en

It seems these two empty office blocks are to be converted to apartments. Ugly rubbish from the 60s. Newtown House, on the corner of Friar Lane / Maid Marian Way And Newland House at the top end of Mount Street.

A few photos on the RCTS site show that point during the station demolition. Slightly surreal.

Work your way through this thread from a couple of years ago. A lot of references to the subject. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8943&hl=norton

Starting at Glasshouse Street coming in, the streets are Newcastle Street; Mount East Street; Sherwood Lane; Lamb Lane.

I've enlarged the Charlotte Street map because it's a good demonstration of something which has been mentioned here before, the number of pubs in Nottingham in those days. Plough and Harrow (lower left): Pheasant Inn (above the Plough): Coach and Horses (north of "Urinal"): Alderman Wood (middle of Charlotte St): Queen Caroline (opposite Ald Wood): Old White Hart (far right): Wallace Hero of Scotland (below White Hart) And you have to admire the sense of humour of the builder who named his location "Pleasant Square". I'll bet it was.

What's your car ? Lamborghini? Ferrari? Unless it's something like that, you are being asked far too much.

When it was all still there.

Charlotte Street. The much-photographed Gents is clearly marked. Almost exactly where the Clock Tower is today.

I'm with BT for broadband and phone. I pay line rental in advance and get a big discount.

Never thought about it before, but it seems trolley - for the thing kids used to make - was a name local to this area. I know the kind of thing everyone is talking about, but if you do a Google search for "trolley", you won't get a photo of a few planks of wood on a pram chassis. You can try the posh name of Soap Box, but even there everything looks a bit upmarket compared to what I remember. Try finding a picture of one. You only got trolleys in Notingham. To the rest of the world, a trolley is a thing you get in supermarkets, or on railway platforms.

Before. After.

Never noticed this before on the tower of the Mill building. I think a few people here worked for Viyella at various times.

Maybe an outside possibility......

Found this on 'Britain from Above'. The viaducts in all their glory. Also showing the very early version of Broad Marsh bus station, and Widdowson's factory.
