I wouldn't be surprised to go in some pubs in Bulwell and see children smoking. Whilst holding on to their bull terriers.

When it comes to being out in public, children are like dogs - they reflect their owners. If they have been brought up or trained well, they are perfectly ok in public places. There are good and bad examples of both (and sometimes the bad ones can be difficult to tell apart). If the dog / child behaves badly in public it tells you everything about the parent / owner. If they behave well in public, their owner / parents are probably fairly civilised people.

....and other things, apparently.

Not just the Co-op that's gone, even the building itself has gone. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9643338,-1.1787127,3a,75y,130.75h,93.01t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sdULdwPJ2oUKWDG6h4plRXg!2e0?hl=en

I believe the image at the top of the Nottstalgia page was flipped to fit better in the space available.

Conspiracy theorists will probably tell you it's happened already. (where is TYAFANS when we need him?)

The political and religious threads were not particularly popular with a large number of members. You will find that in almost all cases, it was the same half-dozen people having the same arguments over and over again. The majority of members did not take part in those threads, they consciously avoided them. There were a considerable number of people who stayed away from Nottstalgia when it went off down that direction; some have never returned to find out if things have gone back to normal. Those threads tended to degenerate into slanging matches between the same parties, which in turn meant

Seems to be called Trentside now https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9306409,-1.1425819,3a,75y,315.87h,103.77t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sWC-1FzQW9MO5X7h4aVNmzA!2e0?hl=en

I assume that means you don't have any topless photos of yourself which a hacker might get hold of.

I agree with that. Everything I've ever seen on Twitter is totally pointless trivial rubbish. It's just stating the bloody obvious; things you didn't need to know anyway; comments which nobody asked for and nobody needs. I've never seen anything mentioned on Twitter where I thought "I'm glad I saw that, I didn't know about it" I'm very pro-Internet in every other way, but Twitter is a complete waste of space.

I think the dots Notty Ash is referring to are the very fine lines running sometimes up the middle of roads and sometimes across fields and buildings. I don't think they are trees, and an early tube network does look a better suggestion.

On the subject of ugly buildings, nice to see one which is on its way out. http://www.nottinghampost.com/City-centre-building-demolished-Victoria-Centre/story-22870863-detail/story.html

Not necessarily. As a result of computers and websites, I have personal contact and meetings with people who I would otherwise not be meeting.

I'd be lost without it now. If something can be done online, I do it. All finance stuff; pay bills; forums; buy things; try things; find out about things; arrange things; contact people. If I didn't have access to the interweb now, it would be like living in a cave.

That'll teach me to not read the thing properly. I've changed the title of the thread.

I've linked to a fully zoomable map of 1748 here http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12933 And on it, you can see Pennyfoot Row just on the edge of the map. Go to the link above for the whole of Nottingham.

I've looked at the Notts History site hundreds of times but I'd missed this gem. If you click anywhere on the map at this link, you get a fully zoomable PDF of a 1748 map of Nottingham. http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/tts/tts1907/nottinghamstreets1.htm

Have I missed something in that picture, but.......what was the point of the raised pathway? I can't see any reason why it couldn't have gone at normal ground level.

That tall building is on Greyfriar Gate, on the site of what became Woolworths. I've no idea what that pre-Woolies building was. But on this later photo it appears to be mid-demolition.

I think - not absolutely certain - the People's College building in the old Broad Marsh area was the low white building on the left here.

For the benefit of those who don't know the area, this is the wall in question. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.017032,-1.131349,3a,75y,5.26h,91.23t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sVPYQUc_C7gtY8wHzBi1jtg!2e0?hl=en

Not sure about a gallows there, but it was definitely a place for burying suicides, who had to be buried at a crossroads. Scroll down a bit on here http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/tts/tts1930/itinerary1930p10.htm

And for anyone who might have missed it earlier.....http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4886

You've got your bearings confused Michael. Mr Fluck's shop was on Long Row, looking up Sheep Lane. The demolition job is on Parliament Street looking down Sheep Lane.

I've linked to this site on a few previous occasions, and they've now done a piece about Mapperley tunnel with newly-taken interior photos. http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/tunnels/gallery/mapperley.html
