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.

I've just seen a Rington's Tea van delivering today. Didn't realise they still existed.

If anyone thinks it's a bit far-fetched and it couldn't happen here........http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21468116

1830s or thereabouts

Yes, I admit I overlooked an important point. And I agree that additions like children, families, dependants, redundancy, illness, benefits etc made things very different. The point I was trying to make was that some people - a very small minority, of which I happened to be one - were better off with Poll Tax than with Council Tax. Trust me, I never voted for the woman.

The Poll Tax gets a bad press these days; the facts sometimes get slightly overlooked, and they can demonstrate a rather different picture. I still have the relevant council demands for the last Poll Tax and the first Council Tax. Last Poll Tax (1992-93) - £283 First Council Tax (1993-94) - £344 Why should I not be happy with the Poll Tax?

Visitor to Nottingham....."Yes, Trinity Square has turned out really well hasn't it?"

And here's a diesel unit doing that move http://www.rcts.org.uk/features/mysteryphotos/show.htm?srch=weekday&page=2&serial=34&img=Y-79-31

Scroll down a bit to the regional section http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_UK_regional_TV_on_satellite

And note those two PTP photos are dated 1949, so plenty of time for it to be demolished/change hands.

So far in this thread there hasn't been a photo of the Arkwright Street version of the shop (which I don't remember), but by chance I discovered this http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM013259&prevUrl=

To work out what Mallot's were, there's another photo which shows it from a slightly different angle http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM018608&prevUrl=

A lot of people sign in and make a first post.....the real test is making the second...and third...and fourth etc

The "today" building is the former Turney's Tannery, it is now apartments. The pub - Union Inn - was demolished when Turney's expanded.

A pub I'd never come across before, and which closed down sometime in the 1920s or 30s, so I don't suppose anyone here ever went in it. The Union Inn, near Trent Bridge It was approximately here

First spring I've seen on here

If you want to buy such things and can't get into Nottingham, you can buy them from here. In many cases they are only £2.50 each. http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/acatalog/sitemap.html
