According to this http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7151 it finished on Parliament Street

Now we've moved on to Lodges, here's both of them around 1890.

Welcome to Nottstalgia Sheilastain. Even on your first appearance you seem to have solved a major problem for us! Now we know that everybody in the Pownall family was called Jacky - regardless of their real name - it explains all the different sightings over the years.

Not quite closing down but.......for the last few months the Borlase at Canning Circus hasn't bothered opening on a Sunday evening. I was there on a Sunday evening earlier in the year and there was literally no-one in apart from one person behind the bar. Don't know how they are doing during the rest of the week.

Google Ikea-Nottingham; that's it.

Little Woolies where, babs?

I'm glad you said that, because now I can answer your question Those steps belong to the feature on this map which isn't too clear, but is labelled "Watnall reservoir" And since it is/was a reservoir, it may answer your other question If there was a reservoir, there might've been a water tower nearby.

Which ones are you referring to? The ones in susyshoes' photo, or the Bing map link?

Are these the steps you are referring to? http://binged.it/10JC3Lg

Welcome to Nottstalgia, Bill's Mother. I look forward to reading your posts.

I worked at Central for most of the time they were at Lenton Lane. I put your query on a site for former Central Staff, and it's confirmed that it was the lake at Newstead Abbey. And that comes from people who were there at the time! (including the actual guy who rang the fire brigade to come and pump water into the lake)

Welcome to Nottstalgia LocalGel. I think the building you are referring to was Arno Vale House. In present day terms it was roughly at the bend where Thackery's Lane meets Saville Road (where I've marked the red arrow) but around 1890 it looked like this

So it hadn't been there long when Reg Baker got to it http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM018477&prevUrl=

If you thought a bit of heavy rain in Nottingham yesterday was bad, it could've been snowing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-22536139

For the benefit of anyone who didn't know the original............

Here's the church arch in the garden on Ranmoor Road. (Look at the rear end of the white van). http://goo.gl/maps/3ymu0

I knew this subject had come up before somewhere. See post #78 http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3536&page=4 Apparently "next door to the Brooklyn Club", so maybe a bit further down the road as you suggested.

Never went in, but it was one of these buildings. Very small shop. Still existed into the late 90s. http://goo.gl/maps/RPBh9

I remember that place. It was certainly a farm shop until the late 90s. Interesting if you look at the location on Streetview, the current owners have obviously decided they don't want to be seen. http://goo.gl/maps/vYwCE

The number of idiots latching on to it is already very high. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22464360

I remember a variation on that from my grandma........Where was Moses when the light went out, down in the cellar with his shirt hanging out. God, they talked some rubbish in those days.

You've probably seen the mention by Trevor S of Picture the Past. If you go here http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/index.php and in the Search box type in Basford Flats, you'll get quite a few results.

I remember that. The particular bit that fascinated me was the way he counted the coins. He'd start by piling them up on the kitchen table, and then to count them he'd flick/drag each one with his finger into a small bag in his other hand. And it was speed he did that which was impressive. For a long time when I was a kid, I wanted to be a meter man because it looked glamorous and cool.

And don't mention the old one about Muffin the Mule

People remember the Flying Horse for its atmosphere and olde worlde charme, but a lot of that was artificial.There had been an old inn on the site for many years, but most of what you saw in the 60s and 70s was mock-old and had been built in the 1930s. Looking at the 'Britain from Above" site I found this photo showing the Flying Horse in the late 1920s. This is the building(s) which existed before the altered version remembered by people today. Exchange Walk is running at 45 degrees up from the bottom right, and you can also see the line of Peck Lane which is the alleyway alongside th
