The Leen valley was certainly over supplied with railway stations Hucknall,Bulwell & Basford all having at least 3 stations. But you could use a differant station depending which part of the city you wanted to be in or where you were going on to when you got to Nottingham. Plus after 1901 the trams ran a frequent service into the city.

Damien Hurst on an early visit to Nottingham?

Two volumes of Victorian Nottingham By Richard Iliffe & Wilfred Baguley deal with a part of this subject Vol 7 The St mary,s Gate Theatre & The Theatre Royal Vol 12 Music Hall in Nottingham, The Albert Hall Of course this only covers up to 1901.

I don't think it was a problem with the milk but with the quality of the water in those African countries

Never seen any photographs of the inside. BTW one of my uncles had his wedding reception there (1963ish) The woman he married's father was "well off" the marriage did not last long though. The guy who designed the building that replaced The Black Boy had his guide dog savage him to death

I have a large scale map of this area(Broad/Narrow Marsh, Canal Street before the railway was built & some smaller scale maps too.(1950s)

Static shocks?? try moving about a bit.

Been with NTL/Virgin for about 13 years now & have broadband/telephonr/television & have hade one or two minor problems that were quickly sorted.

The major closures of the railways happened in the early 60s .

"THAT WOMAN" and her "Ilk" shut down half our railways & most of our steel industry but the biggest crime commited was the murder of our coal industry. With these closures went thousands of other jobs(mine included ) I say "our" in the context of these concerns belonged to the nation us the tax payer. While some parts were loss making the other places that supplied these concerns made a healthy profit (eg Brush,Doughty,Dosco,)some of these places are now closed or are a shadow of earlier times.

Went for a job at the clock makers for shovelling s**t out of the Cuckoo clocks they said I was too tall

Another bit of information. When the Victoria Station opened in 1900 the L.N.W.R. took over the running of the London Road Low Level station & so did the L.M.S. in 1923. Information Nottingham civic society newsletter No 62 September 1983 ( page10)

As London Road(L.L.) had 7 platforms I don't think the forces mail trains were used as a excuse to move the departures to Victoria. And no mention of this is in my book. I think the trains were moved on a cost basis.

Just read up(a bit) The services to Northampton (5 a day) were transfered to the "Vic" in 1944. For info "Railways in and around Nottingham" By V. Forster & W Taylor.ISBN 1-870119-13-4 (pub 1991) This book has recently been up dated & reprinted By Book Law & is available from their shop on Carlton Hill.

The LNWR then the LMS(from 1923) had "running rites" from Saxondale Junction to the GNR station on London Road. and it was origanally intended for the LNWR to also to use Victoria Station for some reason they did not take up the option. I will have to read up the date the LMS actually started running into the Vic. I have a picture of a LMS 2P(4-4-0) on a Northampton train in the Vic dated 1944. A point of interest tht GNR origanally wanted to build it's main loco shed in Nottingham somewhere near to Trent Lane Junction but this did not hapen & Colwick was chosen instead. There was a

The LMS used Victoria Station from about 1944 & B.R.(Midland Reigeon) until the L&NWR/GNR joint closed to passenger traffic in 1951?

There is/was a expression here in Loughborough of "A moo cow Monday" when someone threw a sicky on that day. The Golden Fleece near the "Cattle Market" had a early licence on that day. There are now no pubs in Loughborough with an early opening.
