This might be the closest you'll get, which is an aerial view which doesn't quite show it. Byfield Street would be the next road down (parallel to Independent St) off the bottom of the photo if it extended a bit further.

That sounds like the father might have been an Osmond.

Returning to the final disappearing viaduct, here's a few photos of it before and after. It was the stretch which went from Weekday Cross, round to High Level Station and Sneinton. It had been an isolated lump in the middle of nowhere for years. This is it in the background, behind the tram viaduct. This is how it appeared in 2001, looking towards Sneinton. When the arches were still used by businesses, below the black sloping roof on the right. Where it was. Going. Where the line crossed Popham Street, in the middle of the old Broad Marsh area, looking towards Canal Street. Sa

In the mid 60s, when we visited my grandma at Radford, we would sometimes go down to Bobbers Mill bridge to watch the trains, and I remember I did note down numbers, but it was all run-of-the-mill stuff. By then, there were no passenger trains along that line (to Bulwell and north) and the traffic consisted entirely of coal trains - full in one direction, empty in the other. Although I didn't know it at the time, the footbridge where we stood was the site of the former level crossing, before Alfreton Road was diverted slightly to the west on a bridge over the lines Next to the footbrid

.......as well as lighting up the area for miles around to attract German bombers.

It probably exists today, but in a modified form. They sit in their darkened room, watching the output from several webcams and spotting trains from several locations simultaneously. Then tweeting their friends to tell them about some unusual train they've just "seen". Whilst playing Grand Theft Auto on Xbox.

Here's that location in the late 50s / early 60s. In those days, the building mentioned previously was named Victor Oade. And another....... http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NCCS002746&prevUrl=

If we didn't have computers, we wouldn't be able to post messages on forums complaining about computers.

Another sign of the times.......if you do a Google search for DOMINO, the first few pages of results are entirely about pizzas. It's a long way down the list before you get to the black-and-white things with dots.

The older you get, the more history there is.

The building I think you are referring to is this. The Canaan Methodist Chapel on Newbridge Street. According to PTP built in 1883 and burnt down in 1949.

The Dr Who box at Yates's.

I don't think I remember it, but various earlier posts describe it as being immediately after Turney's factory. So that must make it the hut on the right of this photo.

Yes, I think it is the station. The angle of the camera makes the tower look as though it's connected to the building on the right, but that building is a long way in front of the tower.

I've been taking photos of this (former) feature as it disappeared in recent weeks. I'll post a few when I get round to it. Watch this space. See how much interest can be generated from four brick railway arches.

This website is a bit rambling, but if you click on the headings down the left side and on the links on various pages, there are quite a few photos and items I've not come across before. http://www.lewys.co.uk/Schooldays.html

In the last few days it has become impossible to avoid the Iceland adverts with Peter Andre. If that doesn't bankrupt them. nothing will.

I must've been on most of the West Brigford buses when they were on the Clifton service. Yes, it was the ITN music. It's called "Non-stop"

I wondered why the road is called Convent Street; you don't use a name like that unless there is some kind of connection. Across the road from Convent Street is the site of the old Central Market; and that site had previously been the St John's House of Correction, which has been mentioned in earlier threads here. What I didn't know is that before the House of Correction was built (around 1800), the site was occupied by the Convent of the Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem. Which explains two connections.

Almost as surprising.........the building has survived.

Back to the real thing - it seems to match with "Landing Stage"..... for Colwick Hall?

I can't believe you don't recognise the link. The verse after the middle section. http://youtu.be/P-Q9D4dcYng?list=RDP-Q9D4dcYng
