This is what the tram bridge looks like from the footbridge over the railway station. It's the old GC bridge all over again.

This place? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.965978,-1.130647,3a,75y,51.76h,91.92t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sKy_2VYPbkj7BA_L5kpMXvA!2e0?hl=en I don't know, but I'm sure somebody will be along soon to tell us. On old maps it's called 'Hall' which isn't really much help.

Think of all the useless trivia you wouldn't know if you hadn't found Nottstalgia.

How many other Nottstalgians have a road named after them?

It's just come back into the news. http://www.nottinghampost.com/City-offices-converted-550-student-flats/story-21305459-detail/story.html

I'd forgotten until you mentioned it, but I eventually reached the one above milk monitor, which was crisps and biscuit monitor. I never liked school milk so never wanted to monitor it, but at junior school you could buy crisps and biscuits to go with the milk.

This place I believe. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.983757,-1.186793,3a,75y,261.14h,90.01t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1stCfiPdAN1Vf3MT45gRVpgg!2e0?hl=enhttps://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.983757,-1.186793,3a,75y,261.14h,90.01t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1stCfiPdAN1Vf3MT45gRVpgg!2e0?hl=en And this is what it looks like (or looked like) behind the wall. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM015274&prevUrl=

A couple from Mark Twain: If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. Get the facts first; then you can distort them as you please.

Does this help for starters? 1920s. A golf course and Bulwell Hall existing side by side.

Things you never expected to find........Taken from the other side of the river, showing the alignment of the steps to the memorial.

Can you tell us what exactly you did? And what you did it with?

I don't remember ever seeing it, and I've been along there quite frequently over the years. I'd stick my neck out and say those steps were removed quite a long time ago - at least some time in the 60s. There have been a number of flood-prevention programmes along there, so it may well have been a victim of one of those.

Somebody's done some maths on the subject. http://www.newstatesman.com/future-proof/2014/06/you-are-more-likely-be-bitten-luiz-suarez-1-2000-shark-1-3700000

Never noticed that before, but by zooming in on one of the Britain from Above photos, you get a better idea of what it was; seems to just be ceremonial steps.

Apparently, the purple area is the city. God knows how you decide the middle of such an irregular shape.

The problem with Kamikaze island wasn't so much trees, it was the fact that the island/roundabout itself was very small diameter with a very wide road area all around it. This meant that it didn't look like a roundabout, and if you were going north-south or east-west you could drive across in a straight line without following the normal curves of a traditional roundabout. So people just went blasting straight across without looking for traffic coming from the left or right.

Not quite naming roundabouts, but sponsoring them by local companies, such as an insurance broker at Maid Marian Way. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.954008,-1.155217,3a,15y,341.05h,77.83t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sGBCz2Q7Ojk5cFFUiMXFWIQ!2e0?hl=en

Exactly the same for me on the same stretch of line; except that in my case, from the window in the back bedroom of our house you could also see the trains on that line over a mile away - they appeared for a few seconds in a gap between houses and trees. During the day, being so far away, you could only see it as a dark shape of a train with the steam coming from the chimney on the engine; but at night when it was a passenger train you could see the string of lights from the carriages moving across the horizon. That same stretch of former line is now being used for the new tram extension; so

I know this topic has been quiet for over a year, but earlier today whilst looking for something else I accidentally discovered the answer to Tannis' original question. Victoria Villas still exist, and the building is still labelled, and thanks to Streetview I can prove it. https://goo.gl/maps/9sS3f Zoom out of Streetview to get a wider perspective of Sneinton Dale.

In the ultra-protected world we live in, does Health & Safety allow such things now? Back in the 50s and 60s were kids kids all over the country trying to discover how to blow up their parents or their school or themselves? I bet the death toll wasn't actually that great.

Do you know the name of the road Riseholme was on?

Now you've mentioned it, I remember the map at the bus stop; that was the stop where we got off the bus coming back from Nottingham.

Where - and when - exactly was that ? We lived at that end of Clifton and I'm trying to remember the location of a map at the bottom end of Farnborough.

Even in the early 1900s, number 67 was obviously a significant figure. Does the rectangle indicate the cricket pitch?
