Cliff Ton

Middle Hill did exist before the redevelopment, but it was only a footpath with steep stairs, like Garner's Hill - there are photos in PTP. So there were three ways of getting down from Weekday Cross. The area was massively redeveloped in the 1890s with the coming of the Great Central. Prior to the railway, Middle Hill was a narrow road like Drury Hill. Cliff Road could indeed have been used as a short cut from Lister Gate to Canal Street. I was only a kid when that kind of thing might've happened, so I wouldn't have noticed such things then.

I don't think it's Queens Walk, that was further over west. Looking closer, it seems to be labelled 'S School'..... (Sunday School?) connected with the Chapel next to it. And the entrance seems to be on Mayfield Grove.

If you look at Picture the Past, searching Allport brings up quite a few photos. Unfortunately only a couple for Derwent Street.

Conveniently you can get both on one map. Both in the Meadows.

If you want photos of Barton buses and Mount Street and lots of other related things as well, try here http://www.sct61.org.uk/index/operator/bt

Is there still a bridge? I hadn't realised the link, but if you look back at post #36 in this thread there is a Streetview picture of the road today. I now recall that those roadworks were something to do with strengthening/repairing the bridge (which you are totally unaware of when you are on the road)

According to the Michael Vanns book on the history of Nottingham railways, when the GN line opened in 1875"....the station was originally called Dob Park...but changed its name after only a few months to Basford and Bulwell"

I don't know the area, but that looks to be the case

And Elgin Street was in the Broad Marsh area For modern reference, the road running along the bottom of that map is Canal Street

Welcome Phill, Annesley Street was (and no longer is) in the Meadows area of Nottingham - like this..... And if you go to this site http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/index.php and type Annesley Street in the Search box, you'll get quite a few photos of it. I'm not sure about Elgin Street, yet

Found these two by accident when I was looking for something else. And another http://flic.kr/p/dozAep

That's a spectacular collection of grey hair

Correct! It was the offices of TC Hine, the other victorian Nottingham architect.

No, but closer than previous guesses

Former School of Art, junction of Waverley Street/Peel Street I'm not sure, but my mystery building may well be the work of the same architect (not Watson F)

Grand Designs?

No (and I've never heard of that one before!) I wouldn't have described it as near

This one might not be too difficult. It still exists and was occupied by a prominent local person.

It was a bit more than just a service entrance...or it was the world's most spectacular service entrance. Nice old Rover, too.

The normal number of guests at any one time is around 4 or 5, so that makes 41 rather unusual. I wonder how many of them were Russians?

Another in the category Opening up but not as a pub. If you don't recognise it, it used to be the Gregory. http://www.ms-estates.co.uk/student-homes/property/4-bed-the-gregory-flat-6-214-ilkeston-road-lenton

I was initially going to say "No, it must've been demolished, but........." http://goo.gl/maps/xM1V2

Some of the early planners deserve credit for starting projects which, at the time, might have seemed extravagant and unnecessary. When the ring road first went through Wollaton in the 1920s I'll bet there were people who said it as a waste of money and time. Middleton Boulevard in the 1920s looks a peaceful place to have a leisurely drive, and even though it gets heavily congested these days, we ought to be grateful to someone 90 years ago.

Is that photo as it is now, or at some time in the past?

This morning the bin men emptied the bin, and then left it outside the same house they took it from.
