Not quite. Extending poohbears map a bit further east, you can now see Clumber street on the extreme right, which puts the rest in perspective. Black Boy Yard is - not surprisingly - connected to the Black Boy Hotel, although that's the earlier version before it was redesigned by Watson Fothergill. For the future location of King / Queen Street, I've put a red arrow on the lower half of the road marked as Greyhound Street. That still exists today, so K/Q Street are immediately to the west of that.

Carrying on from the photos of the bridge in post #15, this is what it all looks like a bit further along. This corner, with the Crown Inn, has now changed. It now looks like this. As a reference, the brown-brick factory on the right has survived. Slightly different angle. Up the slope to the bridge over the railway station.

Some of the oldest pictures on Pic the Past are Long Row; such as this in the 1880s, before King / Queen Street had been knocked through.

Amazing how many people here can remember Lyons on Long Row. It's been mentioned in several threads, but it's difficult to find a photo which shows the place clearly. You can see the name just beyond the rear of the bus.

So any guesses which way the photographer is facing? Is that Glasshouse Street in the background, or York Street/Mansfield-Melbourne Road?

I'd heard of the luggage subway, but I'm not sure if that is what is on the photo. As I said previously, I reckon the object in the photo is too close to ground level to be going under anything in Victoria. As for the building which Chulla mentions; according to the caption this is the north side of Bulwell viaduct, looking south. Looking at Old Maps for the time when the viaduct was built, there is no building in that space. It should be approximately where the white rectangle is.

Interesting, because I've never heard of such a thing before. I've zoomed in on the photo to the street scene in the background, and it's not easy to work out which direction the photographer is facing. I'd actually question if that is Nottingham Victoria at all. The track level is not much lower than the street level beyond the fence. All the track at Victoria is MUCH lower than that. It was in a much deeper hole. There is a detailed, original, plan of the station here http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/planBookThumb.php?planNo=33 and no such feature is shown. I'll say I don't think it i

Never seen this one before, till I found it on PTP.

It's surprising how many of the old buildings around Mount Street have survived.

And for anyone who can't find it........http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8146&hl=mount

South Notts were taken over by NCT years ago, but they still run a service to Loughborough - No 1. https://www.nctx.co.uk/timetables-tickets-maps/buses-lines/line/navy

Never thought of that; it's obvious now you say it. Nottstalgia has solved a 50 year-old mystery.

I remember that clock and crew change because we used to pass that stop coming from my grandma's house. When the crew got off the bus they walked off down Caulton Street towards Radford Road, and the new crew came from that same direction. Where did they actually go? Must've been some kind of office or room which served as a base for NCT crews. (If StephenFord reads this, he'll know the answer).

I've sent you a PM on the subject.

"2 pints" is currently being shown several nights a week on the VIVA channel on Freeview.

May be stating the obvious, but have you looked on ebay? It's got hundreds of 'em. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l2632.R2.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xmountain&_nkw=mountain+bike&_sacat=7294

An interesting "chicken and egg situation" there. Who got which photo from where? PTP got their photo from somewhere; and where did Jackpen get her photo, which is also in a book?

The photo which DAVIDW posted came from here http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM014793&prevUrl= At the moment they don't have any others of March Street, but they are always adding to their collection. The photo which I posted came from here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nottingham-Then-Ralph-Gee/dp/0948946261 There aren't any more of March Street in it.

Re: the link I posted in #8, I've just run the speed test again and I got 10.21 DOWN and 0.99 UP, which is slightly better than I got two years ago.

Going back a couple of years, try this......http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10043&hl=broadband

Glad you found it on Brierley Street, because I couldn't find any references to it. So...... Agatha Cottages isn't specifically marked, but Wilford Road (top end) is the one on the left; and the red cross is about where this cinema (Imperial) was. So both your clues fit.

I've always had a similar attitude to 'On the Buses'.

I'm on Chrome and still find the NEP site impossible to deal with.

It's pretty cheap on Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nottingham-Canal-History-Guide/dp/0752437593/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410891202&sr=1-1&keywords=nottingham+canal

Yeah, but where did they get the idea for the subject in the first place ?
