Yes, the pond/lake is still there and it is still used for fishing. In fact a footpath has been specially preserved through all the tramworks just to enable people to get to the pond. This bridge? It now looks like this. The arch was approximately where the red sign is.

A few more. Wilford Toll Bridge looking towards Nottingham. The Toll House, still in use as a snack bar. Looking up Queen's Drive towards Nottingham. The block on the left is approximately where the Cremorne Hotel used to be. More like a railway than a tram, going past Compton Acres on the right.

Melissa, take a look at this thread, posts # 1003 and further on http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2341&page=51

I think around that time quite a few people were avoiding the site.

And just down from the gatehouse, in the area where the Robin Hood statue now lives, used to be the Riding School.

This is what the gatehouse looked like before it was "modernised" in 1908.

Sneinton. The road going up the right is Windmill Lane. The road coming in from the bottom left corner is Upper Eldon Street. Harold Street, which appears here as a short thing, now goes all the way through to Windmill Lane. The road across the top (almost) is Walker Street.

Twas opposite Raleigh Street.

Seems to have been Alfreton Road http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?&user_keywords=orion&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%25orion%25%3B#rowNumber0

The top end of Dunstan Street has changed since the early 20th century. In the 1920s it had this collection of buildings at the top end. Aspey Street still exists as a reference point. Nothing is labelled John Street, but there's room for it. Today, that area is where the "Netherfield Sheltered Housing" is marked. http://binged.it/1lW3t0f

'Music while you work'. (not that I was working in those days)

We may be getting there. I think North Western Terrace may be a bit of a red herring. On maps, it is quite a distance (relatively) from Dunstan Street. When you say "higher end" do you mean the end nearest or furthest from Victoria Road?

I've looked at a load of old maps and still can't see it, but one thing is noticeable. In the south-east corner of Netherfield you get roads called Arthur Street, Norman Street, Dennis Street, Festus Street, Morris Street. So you can see what they were thinking when the area was built. I'd guess John Street was somewhere there, and has been incorporated into one of the existing roads.

Seems to be difficult to find any John Street in Netherfield. The only one locally is/was Basford. Radford Road is on the left, and Shippo's brewery is in the middle. Is it possible that you (or the transcribers) have mis-read the census, and it actually says something else? Early 20th century handwriting can be very decorative and unreadable.

A possible way of finding the location of John St. If you were looking at the census via Find My Past, look at the information for John Street, and then click on the option of 'View original image'. That shows the actual census document. When you find John Street there, look at the streets which come before and after; that will give an indication where it was located.

There are Netherfield experts on this forum (who haven't arrived yet) and who know the area better than I do, but looking at various documents I can't see any road of that name in Netherfield. The only John Street I can find is in Basford, off North Gate.

One rule for some, another rule for others. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Notts-Police-caught-double-yellow-lines-West/story-21013726-detail/story.html How many marks out of 10 does the official explanation deserve?

On the subject of shelters for public transport workers, here's a more basic example. Looking down Alfreton Road at the junction of Hartley Road/Bentinck Road, on the right is a small hut which was for the point-changing boy.

....and if that doesn't make you want to unsubscribe, nothing will.

That's pretty impressive stuff! For most of those scenes, it's very obvious where the location is.

ModelTman - if you are still reading this - as others have also said, it would be interesting if you could tell us exactly what you mean by 'disjointed'. As no-one else has ever said that before, you might have noticed something which everyone else had missed. I agree that some of the people who contribute might seem a bit disjointed but that is because they reflect all types of Nottinghamians past and present.

The NEP website have done another of those "ten photos from ......" again. This time they are from the 1950s and some of them I'd not seen before. http://www.nottinghampost.com/pictures/best-pictures-1950s-Nottingham/pictures-21013425-detail/pictures.html#1

This is one I didn't get, and I don't remember ever seeing it before, even when smoking was fashionable. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/%22Players_Please%22_sign,_Moira_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1404269.jpg

I got 17. Does that make me a youngster?
