This entrance? I always assumed it was the servants entrance for the big house. Never thought about it being an entrance to caves.

Seems to have been multi-named. On Old Maps (ie Ordnance Survey) in the 1880s it was called Methodist Chapel (Wesleyan). With a seating capacity of 852. Those were the days when everybody went to church because there was nothing on the telly.

Some maps mark it as a continuation of Bluecoat Street which is on the other side of Mansfield Road; but many maps don't give that short stretch any particular name. It could be a continuation of Woodborough Rd or Bluecoat St. This is how Mr Google (who is not perfect) sees it. https://goo.gl/maps/8GvF2 And I've just discovered that until the early 20th century, Huntingdon Street only applied to the short stretch of road from its junction with Mansfield Rd down to Woodborough Road; from Woodborough Road south it was called Windsor Street.

Chick indeed. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11994&hl=student

I've discovered two more survivors. This at the top of Arkwright Street; variously known as the Midland Electric Bioscope, and Queens. And this on Goldsmith Street, formerly the Picture House, and Pringles.

On the "today" image, the road going down the left of the new building is York Street. The road coming in from the left (which you can't actually see) is the very bottom end of Woodborough Road. Likewise on the chapel photo, the road going off to the left is the same bottom end of Woodborough Road. You can't see Huntingdon Street on either of them. It would be further over to the left. Like this http://binged.it/1rzeoJN

While we are in the area, if you stand in the middle of Mansfield Road looking south, you see this. Previously you would have seen this. Wesleyan Chapel, only demolished in the early 1970s, but I don't remember it. You can see York House in the background.

There are several threads already which mention the subject. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8121&hl=toreodor#entry100976 http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10503&hl=toreodor#entry151844

...and also, I've just noticed on the one I posted, you can clearly see the connecting line which went from the Colliery, across the front of the Toll Bridge, to the GC yards on Queens Drive.

When I was in Nottingham last Thursday, they were demolishing the car park for York House. It also means that in a few weeks, the Rose of England pub (one of Watson Fothergill's finest) will no longer be overshadowed by the concrete monstrosity.

Here's another, from a different angle. Also showing an unusual view of Wilford Power Station under construction, before it acquired any chimneys.

Bear in mind that is written by Nottingham Civic Society, who never want to demolish anything; and it was written 6 years ago, so it's a bit out of date now. Aldi and Lidl have almost completed their plan for world domination since then. The large-and-underused Co-op has been closed for several years, like most Co-ops.

That's good, not seen it before. At a guess I'd say pre-1950s or earlier. The road going towards the colliery is still Colliery Road; the extension of Queen's Drive hasn't happened yet.

And 100+ older photos to remind everyone what it used to look like. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?&user_keywords=sneinton+market&operator=AND&town_village=&date_period=&database=&action=search&keywords=Ref_No_increment%2CDisk_No%2CLocal_Accession_No%2CMap_Reference%2CTown_Village%2CLocation%2CTitle%2CDate_of_Image%2CDate_Period%2COther%2CForm_completed_by%2CKey_Terms%2CThemes%2CKeywords%2CPhotographer%2CArtist%2CEngraver%2CPublisher%2CForm_of_Acknowledgment%3BCONTAINS%3B%25sneinton%25%3BAND%3BRef_No_increment%2CDisk_No%2CLocal_Accession_No%2CMap_Refe

It's still there.

No, you aren't going mad. I've moved them to a thread on their own. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13138&hl=

Beecrofts had a stall there. But they weren't against a wall, they were in the middle.

Ring any bells?

Probably not on any of these, but...... http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM013634&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM007286&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM000410&prevUrl=

Even in the 1860s it still looked like a dirt track. This is the top of Derby Road, and today the entrance to The Park would be immediately on the left. The toll-house is built into the excavated rock.

No amount of adjustment can make any lettering readable, but concentrate on the three dark windows.

....you can find good news after all. Don't give up hope. Just ask Wilko. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29727632

I came across a couple of photos I forgot I'd taken - back in July 2000 - when the place was about to disappear. Bring back memories for a few people.
