No. Just road works at the time Streetview went through. Here's another view of the hole being built. The road bridge across the top is Parliament Street. The Fothergill building previously mentioned with rounded windows is visible on the left.

This one? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM002253&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM010292&prevUrl=

When the hole was being dug..... And today...same building on the left

Why are charity shops disgusting?

It's interesting that they even considered the possibility of such a thing. We'll have to live with the mistakes of the 1960s for a long time to come. Bearing in mind how derelict and empty the Broad Marsh Centre is these days, I wonder if someone will have the idea of bringing the area back to life by rebuilding Drury Hill?

And it's been mentioned and pictured here http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9866&hl=halt

It's a hell of a lot of money being spent for something which I guess will be pretty expensive to travel on. A lot of the passengers will be corporate fatcats who aren't paying the fares out of their own money. I wonder how many "normal" people will ever travel on it - assuming it ever actually gets built, which is by no means certain.... especially as any early curtailment to the life of this government will probably result in the whole thing being reconsidered. I assume there will be a pretty big Park and Ride at Toton, complete with associated hotels and other buildings. It coud expand in

There wasn't anything to split, Mick. It just needed a few leftover, surplus comments deleting, which I've done.

I noticed Flawford (or Flawforth depending on your preference) which is the one near Ruddington. A quick Google around will tell you that the site was excavated by archaeologists in the 1970s-80s, but then the site was backfilled, and now all you see is a field. (Click on the link on the website and it will take you to a Google Map view of the field). For some obscure reason, I photographed the site when it was still being excavated in the 1970s, and this is a view of the remains of Flawforth church, which you won't see anywhere else because I took it while the excavation was still open.

Here's another. The train will have come along the Melton Line, through Old Dalby, Plumtree, Edwalton. Lady Bay, and now it's approaching Nottingham Midland from the east. Low Level station is just out of shot on the left.

The line which includes Old Dalby was what is often referred to as the Melton Line, which was a Midland Railway thing. That's the line which came from Old Dalby through Edwalton, West Bridgford, Lady Bay Bridge, back of Eastcroft, then in Midland Station from the east. Here's a photo from Nottingham Midland looking east; the low level station is on the left, the line to Netherfield is straight ahead; and the Melton Line (including Old Dalby) is curving away to the right

There's enough information there to keep everyone occupied for a long time. I'd heard of a number of them before, but the interesting new one to me is Algarthorpe - possibly at the junction of Radford road and Eland Street in Basford

It is indeed in that book, which I have. But it doesn't have a great deal more info than can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulwell#Bulwell_Hall

If you go to Picture the Past and search "Bulwell Hall" it produces a large number of photos on the subject

And it also demonstrates another problem trying to solve a mystery like this........they spelt it Wooleys which is why I hadn't found it when I'd searched earlier. Because I found this one, using another different spelling http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM002408&prevUrl=

I'm not sure I can square the photo with the map. In the photo we are looking at houses on the right-hand side of a road. If it is Sussex Street, that means the photo must be looking towards Canal Street, where the factory building is in the distance. Was there another Woolley's Yard somewhere else? Or maybe some demolition between the map and the photo?

Bearing that in mind, can we work out the photo from this close-up map?

Ok, I've taken the bait This is where it was. An inverted-L-shape yard

I'd forgotten that name. So called because Carter Gate was the name of that stretch of road before it was widened and straightened. It then became the 'Lower' bit of the newly-created Parliament Street.

I'd agree with that!

And it's still there! http://goo.gl/maps/43PHJ

Stu, wrong direction! I'm pretty certain you can see Selectadisc on the top photo, it's the one next to The Fountain (with all the stuff in the window)

Here's The Fountain as it will be remembered And the space before The Fountain is the white building to the right of the picture

Knew I'd seen one somewhere. Can't quite make out who the owners were at this time, but it's clearly Ford. The road on the left (where the Morris Minor is parked) is the entrance to the bus garage. The old Ice Stadium is to your right.

This is what they looked like before they disappeared.
