It seems to come and go as a User. Still a big number of "Guests", but not an increase in the number of posts, or new members. I don't want Facebook following me around on any site

It doesn't look much like ice but I think it is http://www.pictureth...006731&prevUrl=

I've noticed that for the last week or so. At the bottom of most threads it seems that 'Facebook' is always there, along with any real people as well. Does it mean that Facebook is permanently connected to this site now? Is that also responsible for the massive increase in the number of "Views" showing on each thread. Looking at items which were started today or yesterday, they already have 300-400 views within less than 24 hours. That number used to be about 20-30. What's different?

How much further up? Beyond Mount Street? Chapel Bar? This thread http://nottstalgia.c...&hl=+sign +four covered some of that area

This topic was mentioned a couple of years ago but due to the useless 'Search' facility, I can't find it; so here's a couple of Streetview links These two concrete bunkers are in West Bridgford - one is easily visible, the other is buried in the undergrowth http://maps.google.c...,320.72,,0,6.33 http://maps.google.c...2,287.9,,0,5.12

Are you including those long concrete "bunker" type of air raid shelters in your list? Or just the tin hut type?

??? Obviously a mistake, but I can't work out what it should be How about this, up from the Odeon? It is now the Central Library. http://www.pictureth...012434&prevUrl=

Is this the line you are referring to? I think I might've linked to these photos before in another thread... http://www.rcts.org....79&img=G-241-34 http://www.rcts.org....80&img=G-241-35 http://www.rcts.org....81&img=G-241-36

When I kick-started this thread yesterday, it had had about 150 views in 10 months. It has now had 230 more in 24 hours

I'd forgotten that bit still exists http://maps.google.c...,116.9,,0,-1.07

A few new photos on Picture the Past. Technically this isn't great, but I've never seen anything of this location before. http://www.pictureth...000398&prevUrl=

Here's another which hasn't been mentioned so far (apart from in Bamber's massive list on Post #35) The Imperial on Wilford Road; maybe a few memories for any ex-Meadows residents.

And today the biggest set of numbers since I've been around here

I've found another photo of the Plaza

My grandad spent his entire working life at Players, (in the days when job-for-life really meant that), and the staff were often given free samples of various products. Working with tobacco every day, it's no surprise he was a non-smoker, so he used to give all his freebies to my dad - who did smoke. I remember the occasion when he presented my dad with a few trial sample packets of a new brand called No 6, which at that time still weren't on the market in the shops. So my dad was one of the first people anywhere to smoke a No 6.

This one? http://www.pictureth...014471&prevUrl= According to Chris Richards in one of his Radford books - the old Windsor cinema.... a showroom for Players No6 and No10 gifts.

Where? When? I haven't seen any mentions of UFOs in any news reports.

If I've got it right, quite a bit of that building still exists......http://maps.google.c...,281.16,,0,9.38

Sticking missiles on flats is just an outward show of propaganda. The real work will be going on behind the scenes and the press and public will know nothing about it. If something serious was discovered, the authorities would just get on with it and do something to sort the problem; it would become public knowledge when it was over and deemed "solved"

Here's an up-to-date photo of the Toll Bridge

After yesterday's little shower, I went out today to see how high the river was; not as extreme as I'd expected, but here's a few examples of it. And it might be a burst of nostalgia for anyone who hasn't seen the Trent Bridge/Embankment area for a few years
